We are having a banner year for tomatoes in my little corner of the world. This is what I need for late September, when caprese season ends: Lycopersicon Esculentum / Tomato room spray from Carrière Frères. "A botanical cloud rises in the sillage of the Carrière Frères’ room spray. Its faceted silhouette is an homage to ancient apothecary jars highlighting the herbalist inspiration behind the brand. Made out of recycled and recyclable glass, it comes in the shape of an apothecary flask and is recognizable to its bluish tint. Capped with an oak top and silver pump, the room spray is filled with a 100% natural alcohol-base." $65 for 200 ml at Aedes.
A frivolous lemming for Frivolous Friday: the Rosebud Gorjuss Doll from Santoro. And yes, she smells. "Add to your Santoro Gorjuss collection with this Rosebud doll.

When playtime is over, she looks just as pretty up on the shelf– proudly display Rosebud rather than confining her to the toy box." £70 at Harrods.
