The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 29 August 2019 10 Comments

Former Estée Lauder exec Veronique Gabai has launched her own line of fragrances (nine scents, two layering "boosters", $70 for 10 ml or $290 for 85 ml) along with some wearables. Shown is the perfume pendant, which holds a 2.5 ml spray ($100 for six). It is sold in silver ($890) or gold vermeil ($990). The chain is sold separately (also expensive), as is a clasp so you can attach it to a bag or belt loop (ditto). They are at Barneys or Liberty London, or you can see it all on the brand website.

Hyascent's hourglass diffusers (you turn it once or twice a day, the scent drips from the top to the bottom and is diffused through the wood rings) are pretty darned good-looking, with a price to match ($169 at Neiman Marcus — only $11 less than the Diptyque version*). They last for about 6 months, and they say they are going to sell refills but there aren't any on their website yet. There are 9 scents, not one of which grabs me offhand but Bourbon Joy (vanilla, mandarin, cedar and muguet) or Bliss Me (fig, jasmine, violet leaf, vanilla and amberwood) might work for fall.

* Diptyque's Le Sablier comes with 75 ml of juice; the Hyascent comes with 180. No idea if they are of equal strength, though, so that might be misleading in terms of cost.

My lemming here is mostly to have someone come and plant miniature cacti in all my old candle jars (and then, presumably, to come back later and replace them). From P.F. Candle Co, a terracotta jar with soy wax candle, in Night Blooming Jasmine, Lavender or Western Red Cedar, $30 at Nordstrom.
