The (almost) daily lemming
From (Annick) Goutal, Une Maison de Campagne room spray: "...whisks you away to a bucolic garden where wildflowers bloom among blackcurrant bushes and brambles laden with blackberries. A fragrant art of living that gives your home a new story to tell." Shown in the 100 ml room spray (€49), also available in a candle.
The daily lemming
Fans of Annick Goutal Ambre Sauvage (from the 2015 Les Absolus trio) might want to snap up one of the limited edition reissues before they're gone? "A sacred composition for perfumers, Amber is not an ingredient that is harvested, but a material that is woven through the imagination. Inscribed in the most ancient tales, this material is one of the most bewitching accords in perfumery. Each Amber conceals a secret. Ambre Sauvage, for its part, multiplies contrasts. A fragrance that makes you want to discover all the facets of the skin." Ambre Sauvage Absolu, €170 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum.
The daily lemming
The 2020 model of Goutal's Forêt D’or ("...scents of pine branches, fresh oranges and mandarins") holiday candle. (You can see last year's here.) At Hudson's Bay in Canada, $115 CAD for 300g.
The daily lemming
This could be very nice for summer: Petite Chérie Fizzling Body Fragrance Mousse from Annick Goutal. "Goutal’s Petite Chérie tells the story of a kiss between mouth-watering pear and blooming rose. For a limited edition, this iconic creation takes a summer holiday and promises us long sunny days, full of discoveries and freedom. For the occasion, Petite Chérie reinvents itself in the form of a fragrance mousse that fizzes on the skin like an icy cloud. Enriched with Argan Oil, the astonishing airy texture crackles and then instantly sinks into the skin, leaving it refreshed and intensely scented, for soft and kissable skin." £38 for 125 ml at Harvey Nichols.
