The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 9 February 2024 10 Comments

No, it's not perfume, but I'll take a Year of the Dragon Hat Box from La Maison du Chocolat anyway: "Celebrate the 2024 Year of the Dragon with the finest chocolate. For this Lunar year we selected the perfect combination of sweet and savory pieces that  are sure to please when gifted, with company, or by yourself." With Gesture Gift Box 16 pieces, Flavored Truffle Gift Box 13 Pieces, Madagascar Tonique 67% Bar and Passion Vibrante Bar, all in a red hatbox, $275 (well, let's hope the dragon is feeling prosperous).

A (not perfume) lemming for Gingerbread House Day (for those of us far too lazy to make an actual Gingerbread House): the limited edition Gingerbread chocolate bar from Compartés in Los Angeles. "Compartés' Gingerbread chocolate bar is studded with golden spicy gingerbread cookies and crystallized ginger pieces on a bed of Compartés decadent gourmet dark chocolate. Perfect for a holiday stocking stuffer or, better yet, just to snack on as a gift to yourself. It's the best of all things gingerbread and chocolate crammed into one delicious holiday bar." $12.95 at Ministry of Scent.

Spendy but fun: a Les Bulles d'Agathe discovery set from Maison Francis Kurkdjian (we've posted this before, some years back, but some of the fragrances are new). "Agathe's scented bubbles discovery set invites children to discover their sense of smell, and adults to have some fun. This set will take you on a woody, floral and fruity olfactive journey, thanks to a selection of iconic and exclusive scents. With playful reflections and bucolic scents, these scented soap bubbles are deliciously nostalgic. You will find in this set : Lavender, Strawberry, Rose, Pear and Mon beau Sapin." Five x 42 ml, $95.

The Caturday lemming

Posted by Robin on 21 October 2023 16 Comments

It's been a very long time since we've done a Caturday lemming...and this one is perfect, since of course you don't need it, you're not going to buy it, but if you did buy it, at least it goes with whatever perfume you're already wearing. The (unscented) Grey Cat Stapler ("Hand painted porcelain and stainless steel stapler. The porcelain is made and painted by hand which makes it unique. Paint and color may vary slightly from piece to piece. This stapler is designed in Toulouse (France) and then manufactured in Nach's family workshop in Thailand") is $80 at Beautyhabit.
