The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 28 January 2020 14 Comments

Enough to make me care about Valentine's Day: the Frédéric Malle Roses Coffret, with 7 ml bottles of Lipstick Rose, Portrait of a Lady, Promise, Rose & Cuir and Une Rose ($175 at Bloomingdales). And why not throw in one of the newly (and betterly) repackaged perfume guns in Rosa Rugosa (€140 for 450 ml at Frédéric Malle in the EU)?

        Problematic because I am not so well funded as my hypothetical valentine :-)

          Ahh, yes the hypothetical valentine is always better funded. Mine would whisk me off to one of those over-the-water Bora Bora bungalows.

            Exactly! And then present this coffret, which you would then put in the wine fridge in the over-the-water Bora Bora bungalow to keep it safe. Ha.

    Ooh, very nice. And every so often folks here talk about liking the scent of rugosa roses very much. I really like the clove scent of the species, and there are some rugosa hybrids that have excellent fragrances also.
