The daily lemming
From Guerlain, hand cream in Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic: "Discover Mandarine Basilic hand cream, enriched with beeswax butter, which gently hydrates and nourishes hands. Its lightweight formula melts into skin without a greasy effect and is quickly absorbed. It leaves hands supple, soft and subtly scented with Mandarine Basilic’s tangy, sparkling notes. Juicy and tangy mandarin flesh meets basil’s aromatic freshness, energised by green tea over woody base notes." In 50 ml, listed as sold out at Barcelona Duty Free. It is available on the Guerlain website in France for €56 (wowsers), along with hand creams in Rosa Rossa and Rosa Verde.
The daily lemming
From the Kew Gardens collection at English Soap Company, hand cream in Narcissus Lime : "Nourish hard-working hands with this Kew Gardens Narcissus Lime Hand Cream, a sumptuous cream with ingredients to keep your skin feeling soft and pampered. [...] the fragrance leads with top notes of lime, bergamot and pear. Floral notes from jasmine, orange blossom, tuberose and narcissus form the heart of the scent and come together on a base of vanilla and sandalwood." £8.29 at The English Soap Company.
The daily lemming
From Feret Parfumeur, Hyalomiel hydrating gel in Violette: "Feret Parfumer's Hyalomiel gel has gone through little change since its inception. The formula has been tweaked and a delicate violet fragrance added, but the packaging retains its retro-chic feel, and its effectiveness remains the same. The sun, the sea, hiking, repeated washing, the wind... have put a strain on your hands and feet. It's time for your skin to rebuild itself by gently eliminating dead skin. Hyalomiel provides softness and suppleness. Its hyaline jelly acts as a transparent protective film." 50 ml for $16 at Smallflower, where you'll also find Hyalomiel Rose.
The daily lemming
Adding to the I-just-want-the-jar pile, the Maison La Bougie Rose Rouge candle: "Imagine the smoky embrace of incense lingering in the air, the deep warmth of cedarwood underfoot, and the velvety richness of a crimson rose blooming in the background. Notes of tonka bean, vanilla, and patchouli add a sensual depth, like a whispered secret in a grand Haussmannian apartment." 2kg with lid, AED1,600 at Bloomingdales in the Middle East, or on markdown for $125 at Saks Off 5th.
