The (almost) daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 29 May 2019 2 Comments

Another limited edition body oil from Rodin that I won't buy but wouldn't (at all) mind owning: the Goddess Aurora Luxury Body Oil. "To start, immerse yourself in the skin-silkening nourishment and shining, vibrant scent of Italian Bergamot and Mimosa found in our Luxury Body Oil in Bergamot & Mimosa. This deliciously fragrant oil softens and smooths skin with a lightweight touch. Massage a bit into hands and apply to moist, clean skin just after a shower or bath. Perfectly refreshing for summer, or anytime skin craves moisture. Leaves skin glistening." $90 for 120 ml.

It would be nice to have one of these in my purse. Not $80 nice, mind you, but nice. If they mark them down to 75% off, I might buy one. Rodin's new Face Oil Sticks, available in Jasmine & Neroli ("If you're a fan of Rodin's 'Luxury Face Oil Jasmine & Neroli', then you're going to love this version - it's sized to fit in a tote and has a smooth, balm-like texture that melts beautifully into your skin. Formulated with a blend of rich antioxidants and 11 nourishing oils, it deeply hydrates for a radiant, fresh-looking finish. Glide it onto the tops of cheekbones as a subtle highlighter or rub onto dry cuticles."), Geranium & Orange Blossom, or Lavender. 11g each at Net-A-Porter.

Another temptation from Rodin: the Limited Edition Mermaid Collection Olio Lusso Luxury Body Oil. "One remarkable formula for nourishing, silkening, moisturizing. Transports you to far-off shores with a scent that marries ceremonial South India Sambac with the clean oceanic tang of French Sea Kelp. New RODIN oil awakens your inner mermaid. Brings skin to dewy radiance for any season. [...] With a shake, this tricolor oil turns seafoam green. Massage it into your hands, apply to moist, clean skin just after a shower or bath." $90 for 120 ml.

Rodin 3 ~ fragrance review

Posted by Jessica on 27 July 2017 14 Comments

Rodin 3

A few years ago, I spotted Linda Rodin walking briskly along Christopher Street in Manhattan. She looked slim and energetic, clad in minimalist black (including dark sunglasses), with her silver hair pulled back in a twist and her smile accented by shocking pink lipstick. I admired her style, and I privately regretted (not for the first time) that I just couldn’t enjoy her signature Olio Lusso facial oil. My skin likes its formula, but my nose detests its raw, indolic jasmine scent.

When Rodin released her first fragrance, Rodin Perfume, I skipped it because it was supposed to smell just like Olio Lusso. (Shudder.) Her second fragrance, Bis, somehow escaped my notice. Her most recent launch, Rodin 3, caught my attention with its promise of being “a personal throwback to her favorite breezy, fresh scents of the 1970s. . .lingering gently with a touch of nostalgia.” I added it to my sample order list…
