The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 27 February 2017 10 Comments

Jo Malone bar soaps, Michael Angrove

I don't adore any of these fragrances, but I do adore the fantastic wrappings by artist Michael Angove. 100g bar soaps from Jo Malone, in Lime Basil Mandarin, Blackberry & Bay, Red Roses, English Pear & Freesia and Pomegranate Noir. $20 each. (And a tip from Angove: "Each of the soap wraps have been individually edited so that every soap has a little bug to find. While some are quite easy to find, some or impossibly difficult, especially on the English Pear and Freesia wrap, where there is a caterpillar in cognito.")

      Yes! A couple sites have reported them as limited edition, but Angove’s site says they’re the new permanent wrappers.

    What a delight, especially in contrast to the usual beige paper wrappers. Thank you for the link to Angove’s site. The full size images are beautiful.

      He has a couple of computer wallpapers too…I know I saw them but now can’t remember if that was on the JM site or the MA site.

    The wrappers are so pretty that it seems a shame to have to unwrap the soaps.

    Yes, gorgeous wrappers! At first glance I misread this and thought it said that each of the SOAPS had a little bug somewhere in it lol! Glad it’s just a design in the paper.

    I would definitely get the BlackBerry & Bay. But, i would want to leave it in its wrapper! Love my Jo Malone!????

    Beautiful! I’m tempted by Red Roses. Though at first I thought there was a bug in the soap itself, and was disturbed at the thought that it might be hard to find.
