The daily lemming
Bruno Fazzolari has done up his Monserrat fragrance in a cream: "This concentrated all-over creme has a fresh, bright scent with invigorating notes of apricot, pink grapefruit, osmanthus and fresh green leaves. It offers outstanding hydration and protection for the skin: shea butter guards and moisturizes, while sea buckthorn, rich in omega-7 fatty acid, supports healing; soothing oat and aloe restore softness. Perfect for body after bathing and for dry hands." $28 for 60 ml at the Bruno Fazzolari site.
