The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 29 October 2021 9 Comments

Serge Lutens wants you to turn your perfume application into a 3 part ritual. Are you game? Step 1, Confit de Parfum, shown above left. "Confit de parfum La fille de Berlin offers a sensorial gesture, heightened by the warmth of your skin. A new gesture, more sensorial, more intimate, to discover another facet of La fille de Berlin. A touch is enough for an intense fragrance." (The main ingredient is dimethicone, so this should be like a dry oil. $195 CAD for 25 ml.) Then, step 2, you spray on your regular perfume. Step 3, Toison d'or, the hair perfume, shown above right. "In movement the scent diffuses, subtly perfuming the hair with fragrance for an alluring and bewitching trail." ($110 CAD for 50 ml). Available in La Fille de Berlin, Ambre Sultan and Chergui, at Holt Renfrew in Canada.

Holiday gift idea? One for you and one for me? "Three fragrance must-haves from L'Artisan Parfumeur in travel sizes, wrapped in a gorgeous green leather pouch.This fragrance gift set includes the incense flower of Passage d'Enfer, the sweetness of Noir Exquis and the mischievous charm of Mûre and Musc Extrême. The collection is presented in a beautiful box designed by illustrator Katie Scott, with a winter spirit to celebrate the magical holiday season." 3 x 10 ml, $120 at Saks.

This year’s Eau du Soir brings a pop chic spirit to the iconic fragrance with a hot pink frosted glass bottle that complements the elegance of its sculptural gold cap." In 100 Eau de Parfum, $278 at Nordstrom or Saks. (You can see last year's model here.)

I'm guessing a few of you might want one? A 27 day (December 5 to December 31) advent calendar from Chanel in biodegradable paper pulp packaging, and including a number of items (a snow globe, keychain, a tree ornament, a magnetic bookmark, a bracelet, etc) that aren't usually for sale. It's $825, and possibly sold out already but you could call your local Chanel counter.
