The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 27 March 2020 15 Comments

Tauer's L'Air du Désert Marocain in solid perfume: "The base is a skin nourishing and moisterizing solid mixture of organic, cold pressed jojoba oil, pure almond oil, vitamine E and white beewax. [...] The fragrance is more concentrated in the solid perfume than in the l'eau de toilette (15% versus 10%), thus a little bit will last a long while. [...] Lying on the bed, watching the moon rising over the sandy hills of the Saharan desert, he dreamt the fragrance of a Moroccan night." 15g for CHF 39.75, ships to Switzerland, US, France, Austria and Germany.

Designed to celebrate the return of spring, it is composed of white flowers and stamen affixed to 24-carat gold-plated wire." €550 for 125 ml plus a 20 ml travel bottle in white leather sheath.

Issey Miyake’s IGO is a 20 ml “cap” (above left) that doubles as a travel spray. You can buy it separately, or you can buy it packaged with a 60 ml ISTAY bottle, which it then sits on top of (above right). Shown in Nectar d’Issey (which I assume is the same as L’Eau d’Issey Pure Nectar de Parfum, but who can say). Here is the brand’s explanation, via Hudson’s Bay in Canada, where they are $45 CAD and $138 CAD respectively, and where you’ll also find the same set up in L’Eau d’Issey and L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme…
