The daily lemming

Pretty! Guerlain's 2019 iteration of Muguet: "A fresh floral fragrance in a unique Collector's bottle hand wrapped in a meticulously crafted silk embellishment. Guerlain re-imagines the iconic Muguet Eau de Toilette every year in celebration of Spring. By collaborating with an artisian [sic], exceptional know-how and technology meet to create a deluxe vintage. This year, Sericyne — established at the heart of the Cévennes, the historic cradle of French silk culture — has fashioned an incredibly delicate silk adornment. An innovative, meticulously crafted masterpiece born of unique patented know-how, it is produced by some twenty silkworms, then stamped with a scattering of 69 bees and gilded with the name of the perfume." If you've got an extra $490 laying around, you can pre-order it now at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Sigh...another Cire Trudon lemming, like I didn't have enough already. The new Salta candle: "Blended with verbena and hyacinth, the grapefruit fragrance is aromatic. Considered by the Chinese as one of the three holy fruits with peach and lemon, the grapefruit was a symbol of prosperity and fertility. Also highly prized by the Greeks and the Romans, the hesperide has a crisp freshness: known for its rich terroir and unique soil, the Salta region enhances the citrus’ intensity." 270g for $115 (ouch, somebody tell me next time they have a coupon) at Beautyhabit.
