The daily lemming
Orange blossom, anyone? "A unique Floris wash bag containing a bath and body duo of Floris Orange Blossom. Radiant top notes of neroli flowers lift the white floral heart notes of orange blossom and jasmine leading to a powdery, musky base. Orange Blossom Bath and Shower Gel - 250ml A luxurious perfumed bath and shower gel containing olive oil to gently soften skin while maintaining its natural balance. This mild yet richly foaming formulation leaves skin cleansed, soft and lightly scented. Orange Blossom 100g Triple Milled Soap Finely fragranced signature soaps, hand wrapped and triple milled with a vegetable base producing a rich creamy lather and containing added shea butter to help moisturise the skin." $35 at Floris (where you might also want to check out the Winter Sale).
Andalucia in a bottle
Andalucia in a bottle? I give you 20 parts white oud, three parts each of amber and neroli, two parts bergamot blend and one part spicy ginger. Neroli is, of course, orange blossom. It’s the defining smell of childhood, my mother’s favourite perfume. A tiny photograph of me, aged four, and my mother, on holiday in Spain with my grandmother, is all but rubbed out with my fingerings. Now I have sprayed it with my own fragrance, Eau de Seville, so what I can’t properly see, I can at least smell.
