The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 22 July 2019 7 Comments

From Montblanc's Elixir Parfumeur series, gray ink in Wood & Tobacco: "The Montblanc Elixir Parfumeur collection embraces exquisite unisex fragrances, as well as the use of oils and the finest plants, to express maximum intensity. The scents stimulate emotions and memory through a reinterpretation of the most beloved raw material scents of all time. The fragrance of the Elixir Parfumeur Wood & Tobacco ink features a warm and woody aroma that can be highly potent. Agarwood is said to be the most expensive timber in the world. The deep gray color is inspired by the evaporation of wood and tobacco smoke." $77 for 50 ml at Pen Boutique.

From Juniper Ridge, Douglas Fir & Rosehips tea: "A soft, savory tea that sings with the flavor of clean mountain air and the resonant note of rosehips. Harvested from California’s northern coast, this simple blend dances with sweet fragrance and a spark of tanginess. Serve hot for a restful companion in the cold, or chilled for the perfect refreshment after a long day outside." 20 tea bags for $13 at Juniper Ridge.

So I was going to show you my latest body product lemming from Ladurée, but then I made the mistake of browsing around and now I just want this, rather badly just at the moment: the Macaron Rhubarb Marie Antoinette tea pastry. "Two macaron shells garnished with a whipped cream infused with Marie Antoinette tea and a rhubarb compote." €7.50. Please send two, along with a couple of the Pineapple Mango Jasmine ones and maybe one of the Raspberry Verbena, why not?

More tea? Why not. "A premier destination for world-class tea, Fortnum & Mason has supplied tea to the royal houses for more than 300 years – an achievement honored by numerous Royal Warrants of Appointment. To celebrate Mother's Day, the legendary British company created a signature blend that showcases black tea from Sri Lanka accented with the fresh flavor of fennel seed, lemon peel, safflower, orange peel and marigold petals." $32.95 for 100g at Williams Sonoma, where the Easter Tea ("Celebrating the arrival of springtime, this signature blend combines low-grown Ceylon black tea with colorful marigold and cornflower blossoms. To highlight its refreshing floral character, the blend is infused with the delicate aromas of elderflower and orange blossoms") is currently marked down to $9.99.

More lemmable stuff from Fredericks & Mae: Wildflower Seed Paper Cannons. (So they're not really scented, and I don't think any of the flowers — Black-Eyed Susans, Cockscomb and Sesame Flowers— are highly scented either, but I want them anyway.) "Confetti embedded with wildflower seeds - a compressed air canister makes a rather loud pop as these explode with future blooms." $14 each at Beautyhabit.
