The daily lemming
I don't adore any of these fragrances, but I do adore the fantastic wrappings by artist Michael Angove. 100g bar soaps from Jo Malone, in Lime Basil Mandarin, Blackberry & Bay, Red Roses, English Pear & Freesia and Pomegranate Noir. $20 each. (And a tip from Angove: "Each of the soap wraps have been individually edited so that every soap has a little bug to find. While some are quite easy to find, some or impossibly difficult, especially on the English Pear and Freesia wrap, where there is a caterpillar in cognito.")
