The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 22 October 2020 4 Comments

Fans of Annick Goutal Ambre Sauvage (from the 2015 Les Absolus trio) might want to snap up one of the limited edition reissues before they're gone? "A sacred composition for perfumers, Amber is not an ingredient that is harvested, but a material that is woven through the imagination. Inscribed in the most ancient tales, this material is one of the most bewitching accords in perfumery. Each Amber conceals a secret. Ambre Sauvage, for its part, multiplies contrasts. A fragrance that makes you want to discover all the facets of the skin." Ambre Sauvage Absolu, €170 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

More red, this time from Cartier: "A special presentation of the warm and spicy Déclaration Eau de Toilette, in a limited-edition bottle. Déclaration is a masculine, modern and elegant fragrance, dominated by fresh, woody notes. This original, distinctive composition basks in a harmonious blend of cold spices." $100 for 100 ml at Nordstrom.

You want your Lazy Sunday Morning in red? Here it is. "Presented in a red flacon with a polaroid photograph to the outer packaging, Maison Margiela’s Lazy Sunday Morning Red eau de toilette is a warming scent that evokes imagery of soft skin and bed linen. Formulated with a heart of iris and rose, this floral fragrance is made light and refreshing courtesy of an orange flower base – perfect for everyday wear." £98 at Harrods in the UK.

Speed smelling is so 2019. This year, IFF is going slow, with "... the theme of “Luxury, Calm, and Pleasure” (after Baudelaire’s “Invitation to the Voyage”). The luxury of creation without looking at price tags. The re-connection to oneself and to suspended time. The rekindled pleasure of re-learning what they already knew, seeing with fresh eyes, away from the frantic trance of day to day. Join them in the Slow Smelling, close your eyes and partake in their imagined worlds: Luxury, Calm, and Pleasure, indeed." Slow Smelling 2020, with 10 ml fragrances by Fanny Bal, Nicolas Beaulieu, Caroline Dumur, Jean-Christophe Hérault, Bruno Jovanovic, Juliette Karagueuzoglou, Delphine Lebeau, Domitille Michalon-Bertier, Julien Rasquinet, Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion, $185 at Luckyscent.
