The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 30 October 2023 18 Comments

Speaking of toothpaste, new from Marvis: the Garden Collection, with three flavors, all with fluoride. "Sinuous Lily [shown above left] won’t purify your soul. But thanks to its perfect fusion of a white bouquet of lilies and the freshness of peppermint, for sure it will purify your mouth", "Don’t be fooled by the fine-fragrances-inspired look. Kissing Rose [shown above center] is a delicate bomb. Enjoy the floral encounter between the notes of Bulgarian Rose and a fresh hint of mint", and Dreamy Osmanthus [shown above right], "If mouth-perfume existed, this would be your favorite fragrance. Discover how the essence of Osmanthus flower intertwines with waves of classic Italian emerald peppermint and sweet spearmint." In 75 ml each. I have not seen these in the US as of yet, but you can find them in the UK at John Bell & Croyden for £7.50 a pop. Also, if you shop around, you can still find the Tea Collection in the US, and there's a Sweet & Sour Rhubarb [not shown; "Infused with a sweet, sour & delicious rhubarb flavour plus classic mint"] that I did not even know about, currently about $9 at Fragrancenet.

This tastes too blue

At 25, [Kristoffer] Vural suffered a stroke that left him paralyzed for a year. [...] In addition to a loss of mobility, Vural’s stroke also resulted in a stranger, more mysterious change: His sense of taste and smell heightened. As a result, brushing his teeth became nearly unbearable. “[Toothpaste] tasted too synthetic, too chemical, too strong,” he explains.

Vural also developed synesthesia, a condition that allows him to experience taste and smell as colors. “I remember when it started, I was just like, ‘Oh, this tastes too blue, it should taste more red.’ And people were looking at me like I was crazy.”

From Santa Maria Novella, Dentifricio Fior d'Iris / Iris toothpaste: "Toothpaste with a fresh aromatic flavor. It contains ireos powder, known since antiquity for its astringent and abrasive properties. The aroma of costmary gives the toothpaste a singular, minty-spicy taste while refreshing and deodorizing the mouth." Can you taste the iris? Is it delicious? I have no idea. $20 for 60g at Smallflower.

Another lemming from Floris, thanks to galbanumgal: Violet Mouthwash. "Modern violet tones meet Floris tradition with this concentrated mouthwash in a beautiful glass bottle. A breath freshening, glamorous and sophisticated approach to dental hygiene in just six beautiful drops, bringing grace to your morning routine as well as a touch of stately decadence for any bathroom shelf. [...] Just six drops applied to 60ml of warm water is all that is required and a 100ml bottle can be expected to last at least 2 months if used daily." $65 at Floris, and also available in Rose for the same price.

Boka's first toothpaste for kids: Orange Cream Space Paste. "Boka's first official kid's flavor, Orange Cream, has vibrant notes of oranges paired with creamy natural vanilla. The name, Space Paste, is a nod to NASA's invention of nano-hydroxyapatite (nHa) in the 1970's. The ingredient, once only enjoyed exclusively by astronauts, is now available to junior space voyagers." Fluoride free & SLS free, $12 for 113g at Beautyhabit.
