The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 14 May 2020 8 Comments

Another one of Kevin's lemmings that I've adopted: hand sanitizer from Blackbird in Seattle, available in heliotrope, fig, incense, oakwood & rose or unscented. Prices vary by scent and cap type. A 4 oz spray bottle is $12 (or $10 for unscented), an 8 oz refill is $24, you save a dollar by buying the set ($35 for any of the scents).

This sounds like a pre-heat-wave sort of summer: "Universal Supreme is the absolute freedom of summer. Inescapable heat, cherry ice pops, absolutely nothing to do (yet so much to do), laying in warm grass watching the stars, hot asphalt, riding bikes, scraped up knees and elbows, screaming without a care in the world and having no idea what time it is." $96 for 30 ml at Blackbird.

Muru incense pyres from Blackbird: "Muru is a sophisticated and rich, green, woody-earthy smell. Burning Muru imparts a foreign, exotic feel to any atmosphere. The name Muru means grass in Estonian." With vetiver, yuzu, cypress and soil; 20+ cones for $34 at Blackbird. (These are the ones I've had my eye on, but reader favorites mentioned in the comments recently include Ploom, Gorgo, Lone, Targa and Tilde.)

From Blackbird, the Weird Wife rollerball gift set: "She may not actually be a she, or a wife. She's her own person. She dresses for herself. Her thoughts are her own. She dances or sings at the wrong time. She knows that cheese and crackers is a perfectly acceptable dinner. [...] Feel free to gift to anyone who might enjoy this combination. Packaging is not labeled with set name." With 10 ml each of Y06-S and Anemone in "a small black and white Blackbird branded box ready for gifting", $76.

Blackbird Y06-S ~ fragrance review

Blackbird Y06-S brand image

In the future there will be no bananas…This is not a novelty scent…This is not a gourmand perfume. So says Seattle-based Blackbird of its latest fragrance launch, Y06-S.

The moment I read Y06-S’s list of ingredients (banana, “electronics,” agarwood, jasmine and milk) my intuition pointed to instant “I will like this” and I was right. Y06-S is one of my favorite perfumes of the year and will be a part of my Summer 2018 perfume rotation…
