The daily lemming

Posted by on 5 Comments

Unilever's latest bid for the attentions of the Millennial consumer, Love Beauty & Planet, has caught my (not-Millennial) eye with some not-bad-sounding-at-all fragrances. Shown is the brand's Body Wash, in Coconut & Ylang Ylang and Murumuru Butter & Rose; other fragrances include Tea Tree & Vetiver, Coconut Water & Mimosa Flower, Argan Oil & Lavender and Shea Butter & Sandalwood. In addition to the shower gel, there are hair products (including a dry shampoo), scrubs and a "Showerless Cleansing Mist". The brand should be at mass market stores by January.

I was probably happier before I knew this existed: Armani Bois d'Encens Shower Gel. "A body wash with the Haute Couture fragrance of Armani/ Privé Bois d'Encens. Start your fragrance ritual in the shower, bathe in luxury with a body wash inspired by the secrets of the Armani hotel. The Bois d'Encens luxury eau de parfum showcases Somalian Incense, an olfactory reflection of the hours Giorgio Armani spent with his grandmother in Italian churches. It is a rebirth of the mystery of the oldest known perfume in the world, Kyphi, created 4,000 years ago by the Egyptians. Bois d'Encens springs from Giorgio Armani's own memories. Mystical and enchanting, Bois d'Encens balances the essence and pure incense of woody perfumes, sumptuously enhanced with vetiver and cedar. It is the luxury fragrance Giorgio Armani wears every day." 200 ml for $50 at Bergdorf Goodman.
