The (almost) daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 18 June 2021 Leave a Comment

From Tory Burch, the Normandy Rose candle ("in a stoneware vessel is inspired by the 19th-century English stoneware that both Tory and her mother, Reva, collect"), with cassis buds, rose, violet, peony, ebony woods, peach nectar and tree moss. $78 for 226g at Nordstrom.

Let's say you love Hawaiian shirts and you've been lusting after a 1.5 ml sample of Le Labo Bergamote 22: this is the lemming for you. Numbered (!) limited edition unisex tencel shirts by Mexican artist Ana Leovy created for "escape wear" brand Tombolo ("It depicts whimsical revelers dancing under a lemon tree") at dusk (left) or dawn (right) are $158 each and come with the sample mentioned above ("Taking cues from the big lemon tree that dominates the shirt's scene, we selected a citrus scent containing floral notes of orange blossom and bitter grapefruit"). Ok?

Another option for a solid shampoo: L'Occitane's new bars. Three options: Purifying Freshness (blue, for normal to oily hair, with peppermint, thyme, grapefruit, mint, lavender and cedar); Gentle and Balance (lavender, with lemon, orange, rosemary, chamomile and lavender); and Intensive Repair (peach, for brittle and damaged hair, with angelica, ylang ylang, sweet orange, lavender and geranium). They do not seem to be in the US (yet?), in the UK they are £10 each for 60g (so half the price of the Yves Rocher products).

Some day, I will go to Geneva and buy all the Mizensir candles (and the pencils too). This one is a limited edition in a ceramic jar made by Louisa McEwan / A Place By The Lake, in Palissandre Des Indes ("A quintessentially luxury compound, this fragrance of roughly processed precious wood gives way to the intense notes of Ceylon cinnamon. Pure refinement in perfume."), €190 at Mizensir. (There are also 5 other styles / scents in the collection.)

From Alba Botanica, Hawaiian Deep Moisturizing body oil in Kukui Nut: "Find sweet satisfaction with this nutrient-rich, super-smoothing, fast-absorbing body oil. Made with a blend of kukui nut, sweet almond, coconut, flaxseed and sunflower oils, this body oil works its magic to nourish, hydrate and protect skin from moisture loss. Skin is doused in silky perfection." Reviews on the smell range from yum to sticky sweet, so perhaps give it a sniff first? About $7 for 250 ml at Vitacost.
