The daily lemming

Should yesterday's Buly 1803 Lait Virginal Orange Blossom Body Milk happen to fall into my hands (not likely), I guess this is what I'd need to layer over it: Eau Triple Berkane Orange Blossom Perfume (also from Buly 1803, and thus equally unlikely). "Dazzling and bright, the scent bursts with fresh orange blossoms and leaves, capturing a soft, sweet breeze dancing through budding branches of neroli. Free from alcohol and ethanol, this water-based scent can be used on both the skin and hair without leaving them dehydrated" $243NZD (about $160US) for 75 ml at Mecca in New Zealand.

I had a bottle of Orange Sanguine and I gave it away. I don't need another, but if the original bottle had looked like this, I likely would have kept it. "Atelier Cologne presents its first limited edition to celebrate its 10th anniversary in exclusive collaboration with artist Lucky Left Hand. Fresh and lively citrus. Orange Sanguine: The scent of freshly cut blood oranges: sunshine in a bottle!" The Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine 10-Year Anniversary Limited Edition is $135 for 100 ml at Bergdorf Goodman.

Caswell Massey's Yellowstone collection, in collaboration with Yellowstone Forever, includes a series of five "Fragrance Tonics" (Eau de Toilette splashes) inspired by Yellowstone National Park. "Old Faithful Fragrance Tonic is an unusual fragrance derived from living floral captures near the Old Faithful Geyser, with wonderful base notes of Moss and Pinesmoke combined with a blend of aromatic notes, including Yellowstone Sage, Blue Lupine, & Larkspur. Derived from rare botanicals near the most active thermal features in the Park. Old Faithful is the most unusual and unique scent, with Living Sagebrush, Tree Moss, Birch & a strong scent of Smoky Wood." $48 for 100 ml, or there is a multi-purpose skin and hair oil, $42 for 30 ml, either way, a portion of the proceeds benefits the park.

Oh sure, I'd take one if you twisted my arm. "The best-selling La Fille De Berlin fragrance by Serge Lutens is now available in this limited-edition travel kit. This chic, travel spray comes with four 7.5ml vials of the fragrance, as well as a funnel to refill making it perfect for travelling or for those on the go. La Fille De Berlin evokes a woman whose beauty renders her a notorious as her thorny character and unveils notes of rose, geranium, palmarosa, patchouli, moss, honey and black pepper." You can pre-order at Saks, $110, or pick one up at Harvey Nichols for £85.
