The daily lemming
I am sorry / not sorry that I've become attached to Marvis Karakum toothpaste, and I'll be extra sorry when they stop making it (I think it's a limited edition). I also really liked Buly's Opiat Dentaire Mint Coriander Cucumber, but the Marvis is expensive enough as it is. My next lemming is Botot Anis Citrus Réglisse, which at $13.50 for 75 ml is a little less than the Marvis. It is shown above center, along with cinnamon clove (left) and eucalyptus (right).
