Clever packaging for this 2-in-1 hand sanitizer and hand lotion from Jo Loves: apparently you squeeze one side of the tube for the sanitizer and the other side for the lotion. In Pomelo, £25 for 25 ml of each, at Jo Loves in the UK.

Advent calendar (purchasing) season is upon us. Always my first vote: Diptyque. For the 2020 version, you'll get seven 10 ml fragrances, plus one 70g candle, eleven 35g candles and an assortment of other goodies. Due to launch mid October, £320. (I think the 2019 version was $425 in the US?)

The latest from Nez, The Big Book Of Perfume: For An Olfactory Culture. "The team from Nez, the olfactory magazine invites you on a very special journey to explore perfume in all its facets, delving into the heart of a fascinating yet little-known world. This book lifts the curtain on the best kept secrets of perfumery, answering all your questions about the world of smell". 227 pps, $45 at Luckyscent (where you can also see images of a number of interior pages).

Apricot / Mango / Rice Milk shower gel from Nivea? Sure, why not. $11.50 for 300 ml at Smallflower, and also available in Watermelon / Mint / Coconut Milk and Raspberry / Blueberry / Almond Milk. (And if anyone has tried these, do comment!)
The daily lemming
Oh please, hold the holiday stuff until November, yes? But if you must know, The Body Shop is doing three holiday edition fragrances this year. Warm Vanilla is a repeat, then you've got Festive Berry (with cranberry) and my (possibly, unsniffed) pick, Winter Jasmine, available in just about any body product you might think of, and described as a "fresh, crisp and white" floral. Out in the UK already, presumably it will be in the US soon enough.
