The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 13 October 2022 7 Comments

Another option for your holiday shimmer: Chanel's limited edition No. 5 The Gold Body Oil / Huile d'Or. (I know they did a similar product in 2017, and possibly there have been others as well.) "The bottle houses golden-colored fragments that appear weightlessly suspended. The nourishing formula imparts a soft, satiny veil and subtle sheen for a radiant result. Inspired by the silky blend of May rose and grasse jasmine featured in the original fragrance, the body oil brings the floral-aldehydic bouquet of the timeless scent to life with voluptuous flair." $100 for 250 ml at Nordstrom.

From Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Baccarat Rouge 540 Sparkling Body Oil: "The Baccarat Rouge 540 Sparkling Body Oil is a sensual conclusion to a beauty ritual, beautifying the skin with a floral, amber, and woody aura. This shimmering 24K gold scented oil is inspired by the secret of Rouge à l'or, an alchemy obtained by blending crystal and gold powder, leaving the skin delicately sparkled and scented." Available for pre-order at Saks, $195 (ouch) for 200 ml.

I bet one of you has tried the Frangipani Monoi Body Oil from Elemis and can tell me if it is lemming-worthy? "Discover a skin-smoothing paradise with this ultra-hydrating body oil. Sourced from the beautiful coral shores of the Polynesian Islands, the superior blend of Frangipani, Monoi and Coconut oils intensely nourishes your body and restores peace and harmony in your mind. Skin is left looking smooth, feeling soft and smelling like a tropical paradise." 35 ml for $24 or 100 ml for $56 at Elemis.

I can see this becoming a spring / summer staple: Fox in the Flowerbed Body Oil from Imaginary Authors. "Wearing this floral wonder will amplify the beauty in everything. It’s a versatile scent, doubling as a mood-lifter during the day and bringing an ethereal elegance to nights out. Don't be led astray by the name, there is nothing animalic or off-putting about this scent." $28, but the website doesn't seem to disclose the amount of product you receive — perhaps it's a bargain, perhaps not. Hat tip to somebody and my apologies for forgetting who told me, or commented about it, or ?
