The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 27 January 2023 5 Comments

From Lazarus Douvos, a splurge for Valentine's Day? Rose 1845 Shampoo: "A sulfate-free shampoo that lathers richly to deeply cleanse the scalp and moisturize the hair, leaving behind a fragrant rose garden. 125 ml for $50 at Saks Fifth Avenue, where you'll also find the matching conditioner and hair oil (as well as the Eau de Parfum and body oil).

I don't know what I'd do with it, but I want some. From NYC's Enfleurage, Lilac Pomade: "Our lilac (Syringa vulgaris,) is grown, harvested and enfleuraged in upstate New York, and expertly blended into a delightful pommade, using organic candelilla wax and vitamin E. This is a mouth-watering, textural delight. So many of us grew up with lilac season, and their unmistakable fragrance punctuated our early springs. Lilac is one of those flowers that refuses to be distilled, refuses to allow solvents to extract her, and whose wonderful complexity is so difficult to synthesize. Enfleurage is the only reasonable way to extract her scent, and here it is in a gorgeous pomade that lives up to the most discerning expections." $38 at Enfleurage.

From Panier des Sens, a solid shampoo bar in Regenerating Honey, for dry hair. "This mild ultra-foaming, pH-neutral, sulphate-surfactant- and silicone-free, eco-friendly shampoo cleans, nourishes and protects dry hair right down to the tips. Light yet deliciously-sweet creamy honey that mellows almond flowers and sandalwood." $14 for 75g.

A blissful blend of wet herbs, roses and an almost steamy accord

I myself have been known to use hairsprays from Sam McKnight not only for the hairdresser’s signature “cool girl” mussed-up texture, but also for a hit of the sublime scent created especially for McKnight by British perfumer Lyn Harris. Inspired by the lingering aroma of McKnight’s beloved London garden after a heavy downpour, Harris’s creation is a blissful blend of wet herbs, roses and an almost steamy accord that is at once refined and sexy. One perfume PR – who has no professional connection with McKnight – tells me that Lazy Girl dry shampoo (at £19 it’s a fraction of the price of one of Harris’s perfumes) is his “special occasion fragrance”.

From Lush, Happy Happy Joy Joy conditioning hair perfume: "You'll jump for joy at how lovely your hair is after giving this vegan conditioner a go: it works wonderfully on bleached and over-processed hair, and on everyone else too, as it's rich and moisturizing but doesn't weigh hair down. A rose water, orange blossom water and almond milk base softens, beautifies and conditions hair, and orange flower absolute, rosewood and grapefruit oils perfume your hair to make you feel Happy Happy all day long." In 4 sizes, $15 - $75.
