I didn't know I wanted a gin I could wear or drink (its 151 proof so it's really more of a cocktail flavoring agent), but turns out I do. Steven Grasse (really!) of Tamworth Distilling says his new Sylvan Mist tells "...the story of our local flora in the form of the most floral spirit possible: gin. Sylvan Mist sings the song of the flowers and the forest as both a gin mist and perfume. It’s an unfolding bouquet.” It will be $80 for 100 ml.

The daily lemming
From Floris, a set of three 100g lily of the valley bar soaps: "Triple milled with a vegetable base producing a rich creamy lather and containing added shea butter to help moisturise the skin...Delicate yet enduring, the opening accord of leafy green top notes blend with lemon to add sparkle to the dominant floral accord of lily of the valley - the heart of this timeless favourite.

The daily lemming
From Santa Maria Novella, Dentifricio Fior d'Iris / Iris toothpaste: "Toothpaste with a fresh aromatic flavor. It contains ireos powder, known since antiquity for its astringent and abrasive properties. The aroma of costmary gives the toothpaste a singular, minty-spicy taste while refreshing and deodorizing the mouth." Can you taste the iris? Is it delicious? I have no idea. $20 for 60g at Smallflower.
The daily lemming
From Vacation (I still haven't smelled the sunscreen), After Sun Gel: "The Vacation After Sun Gel is a modern take on the after-sun gels you grew up with. It's alcohol-free, features an ARQUISTE designed fragrance, and has a non-sticky, watery feel that quenches, cools, and soothes sunburned skin.
