The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 27 March 2025 2 Comments

From Guerlain, hand cream in Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic: "Discover Mandarine Basilic hand cream, enriched with beeswax butter, which gently hydrates and nourishes hands. Its lightweight formula melts into skin without a greasy effect and is quickly absorbed. It leaves hands supple, soft and subtly scented with Mandarine Basilic’s tangy, sparkling notes. Juicy and tangy mandarin flesh meets basil’s aromatic freshness, energised by green tea over woody base notes." In 50 ml, listed as sold out at Barcelona Duty Free. It is available on the Guerlain website in France for €56 (wowsers), along with hand creams in Rosa Rossa and Rosa Verde.

Floral notes from jasmine, orange blossom, tuberose and narcissus form the heart of the scent and come together on a base of vanilla and sandalwood." £8.29 at The English Soap Company.

From Feret Parfumeur, Hyalomiel hydrating gel in Violette: "Feret Parfumer's Hyalomiel gel has gone through little change since its inception. The formula has been tweaked and a delicate violet fragrance added, but the packaging retains its retro-chic feel, and its effectiveness remains the same. The sun, the sea, hiking, repeated washing, the wind... have put a strain on your hands and feet. It's time for your skin to rebuild itself by gently eliminating dead skin. Hyalomiel provides softness and suppleness. Its hyaline jelly acts as a transparent protective film." 50 ml for $16 at Smallflower, where you'll also find Hyalomiel Rose.
