The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 5 October 2022 4 Comments

Last year Jean Paul Gaultier did up Classique and Le Male in holiday sweaters (I don't think I ever posted them but I linked to them here), this year, it's red puffer vests. You can find them both at Marionnaud in France, in Eau de Toilette (Classique, 100 ml for €148; Le Male, 125 ml for €107).

And two more on my wish list from Lush, both limited edition reissues: Turmeric Latte ("As the night draws in, snuggle up with the cozy scent of vanilla, creamy tonka absolute and a hint of spice. This limited-edition scent is only around for the holidays, when we need its warm comfort the most. It's an incredibly long-lasting scent, with excellent projection"; 30 ml for $65 or 100 ml for $130) and Hot Toddy Shower Gel ("Best served in a hot shower, this blend of fresh ginger infusion, cinnamon leaf and clove leaf oils has a spicy, comforting scent. Fair trade organic aloe vera keeps skin soft and soothed even in cold weather, while fresh lemon juice brightens and cleanses. This one warms you up like a hot drink"; 3 sizes $11.50 - $38). Also new, and I don't think a reissue, Elf Shake Shower Gel ("This fruity shake gets skin glowing with fresh, vitamin-rich apple, kiwi, grape and lime juices. A hint of fresh mint infusion brightens and invigorates, while the essential oil blend gives a fruity, sour gumball scent that fills the shower and smells delicious on the skin").

Two possible (limited edition) lemmings for fans of Lancôme La Vie Est Belle: at left, an edition decorated by French artist Richard Orlinski (€92.50 for 50 ml at Breuninger in Germany). At right, the L'Éveil art edition, a refillable bottle decorated with a 'cloud' of recycled plastic fibers designed by a Parisian art school (€90.50 for 50 ml at Lancôme in France).

A collector bottle for Maison Francis Kurkdjian's latest, 724: "Urban landscapes and their surrounding architecture overtly influenced the aesthetic of this musky floral eau de parfum, available in a limited-edition gift set of which only 165 pieces are available worldwide. Made in France by capable artisans, this case features a special bottle engraved by hand with fine gold lettering and an elegant silk ribbon in the signature 724 urban blue." $550 for 70 ml at Bloomingdales.

Jo Malone's entry for the Bloomingdales 150th collection: Nectarine Blossom & Honey Cologne. "This limited-edition offering includes a coordinating deco box and blue ribbon to celebrate Bloomingdale's 150th anniversary. The beloved Nectarine Blossom & Honey fragrance sits in a classic checkered pattern, a nod to the 59th Street flagship store's signature tiles." $155 for 100 ml.
