The daily lemming
Frédéric Malle is appearing in the daily lemming more often than I’d like. But what can you do? The new hand soap sets come with six 50g bars for $90: “We are delighted to introduce a new addition to our home and body lines: purchase our full soap collection and experience different scents in all corners of your home. Scents include Vetiver, Cologne Indelible, En Passant, Magnolia, Iris and a new fragrance, Anterenea. Originally made for his own personal use, with carnation, geranium and sandalwood, Anterenea bears memories of summer days in the Basque Country. Round and compact, like ocean-polished stones, our soaps are infused with perfumes specifically suited to the cosmetic cleanliness of soap itself.” You can buy at Neiman Marcus or Saks…

Tauer Perfumes Majestic Tuberose Bar Soap
Tauer Perfumes‘ glycerin bar soaps have been around, off and on again, for years, but this is the first time I’ve tried the Majestic Tuberose. It’s a lovely, full-bodied white floral, and the rose and the jasmine in the blend soften the impact of the tuberose perfectly — it smells like tuberose, but it doesn’t overwhelm. The bar is scented just enough to make your bathroom smell good, and just enough to leave a light fragrance on the skin, not so much as to make it difficult to match your perfume after you shower (or wash your hands). The glycerin bars are soft (they slice easily, if like me, you don’t want to keep a whole glycerin bar melting in the shower, or if you want a small slice for your dresser drawers or whatnot) and foam nicely. I’m a fan…
Perfume is like the salt and pepper to sex appeal
Ultimately, though, he thinks young people will want good fragrances because of, well, sex. “People have not stopped sleeping with one another. And perfume is like the salt and pepper to sex appeal, and to the act itself. I’m not worried about that,” says Malle. “What is worrying is to keep on having people that don’t do their jobs properly, either because they’re mass and they’re selling image rather than perfumes or because they are bad indie brands that don’t know what they’re doing. But I think if you do things well, they will come.”
