The daily lemming
New from the (luxury) Loewe home collection (most of which I've been lemming since it came out in late 2020), new soaps, available in liquid or exfoliating bars-on-rope, in Liquorice, Marihuana and Oregano. The description for the Liquorice bar soap: "The Liquorice solid soap is a cleansing bar perfumed with the sweet aroma of the liquorice plant’s roots that leaves the skin feeling soft and refreshed. The aromatic scent reveals deep, woody notes over time. [...] Exfoliating particles of red algae infuse the soap with their properties—red algae has been used for thousands of years to fight skin inflammation, dry skin and wrinkles, being rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals—while shea butter is a skin-nourishing, soothing and deeply moisturising element." $48 for the 290g bar, $60 for the 360 ml liquid soap, at Parfums Loewe.
