Speaking of toothpaste, new from Marvis: the Garden Collection, with three flavors, all with fluoride. "Sinuous Lily [shown above left] won’t purify your soul. But thanks to its perfect fusion of a white bouquet of lilies and the freshness of peppermint, for sure it will purify your mouth", "Don’t be fooled by the fine-fragrances-inspired look. Kissing Rose [shown above center] is a delicate bomb. Enjoy the floral encounter between the notes of Bulgarian Rose and a fresh hint of mint", and Dreamy Osmanthus [shown above right], "If mouth-perfume existed, this would be your favorite fragrance. Discover how the essence of Osmanthus flower intertwines with waves of classic Italian emerald peppermint and sweet spearmint." In 75 ml each. I have not seen these in the US as of yet, but you can find them in the UK at John Bell & Croyden for £7.50 a pop. Also, if you shop around, you can still find the Tea Collection in the US, and there's a Sweet & Sour Rhubarb [not shown; "Infused with a sweet, sour & delicious rhubarb flavour plus classic mint"] that I did not even know about, currently about $9 at Fragrancenet.
The daily lemming
From Marvis, the Tea Collection, with toothpaste in three flavors: Blossom Tea (black tea, exotic flowers, cherries and peaches); Creamy Matcha Tea (inspired by bubble tea from Taiwan) and Earl Grey Tea (bergamot and black tea). With fluoride, and available in 25 or 75 ml, or in a set of 3 x 25 ml. I don't think these are in the US yet, but you can order from Gents in Sweden, First in Fragrance in Germany, Fat Buddha in Scotland or Carter & Bond in England.
The daily lemming
Thanks to a kind tip from Pyramus, I already have a tube on the way: Marvis Black Forest toothpaste. "Inspired by the rich German delicacy, this toothpaste combines the sweet taste of cherry and chocolate with fresh mint to create an inventive flavor. Unlike the cake, the toothpaste helps prevent cavities by removing plaque and tartar to give you strong and healthy teeth." I paid $10.50 for 75 ml at Fendrihan, but this morning they appear to be sold out. Other new flavors you can see if you can get your hands on: Anise Mint, Orange Blossom (yes, I bought that too) and Sweet & Sour Rhubarb.
The daily lemming
Yes, I'm still thinking about dental care. Marvis has a new-ish trio of limited edition flavors, the Wonders of the World: Karakum ("...an imaginary journey across the Black Sea to Persia, Mongolian deserts and Eastern China...a sophisticated flavor that combines the finest peppermint with the sweetness of orange juice along with the enchanting and aromatic cardamom"), Royal (shown; "...luxurious trips on the orient express...combining zesty Italian lemon oil, tangerines, fragrant rose extract and nutmeg") and Rambas ("...the beaches and exotic atmospheres of tropical islands...a fruity, velvety taste that combines ripe peach and sweet pineapple with a twist of sweet alphonso mango"). $15 each at Bigelow Chemists.
