The daily lemming

The Salta candle from Cire Trudon is firmly in my top 5 all time home fragrances (thank you, Kevin) and I would love to have a bottle of the home spray, even though like Kevin, I can't say as I notice any hyacinth in particular. ("Considered by the Chinese as one of the three holy fruits with peach and lemon, the grapefruit was a symbol of prosperity and fertility. Also highly prized by the Greeks and the Romans, the hesperide has a crisp freshness: known for its rich terroir and unique soil, the Salta region enhances the citrus’ intensity. Blended with verbena and hyacinth, the grapefruit fragrance is aromatic." $260 (ouch!) for 375 ml at Trudon.

From Lolita Lempicka, Mon Premier Parfum in the Mon Printemps limited edition: "Mon Premier Parfum, a contemporary bouquet of liquorice flowers with sensual notes of anise and violet, is a true invitation to travel and passion. An ode to femininity, it seduces immediately, intensely, eternally. To celebrate Spring, Lolita Lempicka has designed a new decor for its jewel apple. With this limited edition, Mon Premier Parfum takes on a pure white bottle adorned with ivy leaves, the iconic symbol of the brand. Sublimated by delicate spring flowers, Mon Printemps illustrates the beauty of the season." €104 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum at Lolita Lempicka. (You can see last year's model here.)

From KOBO, "Plant the Box" bar soap in Wild Tomato Vine: "Freshly crushed tomato leaf carries the essence while peppery spice creates an aromatic distillation. It finishes with the scent of freshly cut garden clippings. Plant the box and the seed-infused package will grow wild tomatoes." $15 for 198g at Smallflower. (These are also made in Lavender and Sunflower, and they have a whole series of "Plant the Box" candles too, I think they might have been a lemming here in the distant past.)
