The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 31 January 2023 Leave a Comment

A special edition of Acqua di Parma Lily of the Valley for Valentine's Day: "An artistic combination of two olfactive sensations where the lively and powerful scent of Lily of the Valley is enhanced by vibrant and luminous citrus notes. An ode from the Lily of the Valley to the Italian sun, this Valentine's Day special edition celebrates romance where fragrance becomes poetry.

Everything itched. “I was miserable,” she says. “I was literally a tomato.” When her dermatologist suggested that her fancy detergents might be the cause of her problems, she brushed it off. “I was like, ‘Oh, that’s not it,’” she says. “I’ve been using this stuff for years.” Why would she suddenly have a problem now?
