Ah, a little something for snack time. Aftelier's new Ginger Rose chocolate bar in collaboration with Areté Fine Chocolate. "We collaborated with renowned artisan perfumer Mandy Aftel to create this special bar. A divine marriage of our Belize Maya Mountain Chocolate and her 100% natural Turkish Rose and Indonesian Ginger Chef’s Essences. We spent almost four months working together to get the balance just right, and if you’re a fan of ginger we think you’ll agree that this bar is as close to perfection as you could hope to get." $15 at Aftelier.

A pretty tin of rose bud infusion for Teapot Tuesday: "This carefully-sourced infusion from The East India Company draws on only the finest rose buds available, resulting in an enchanting variety which will you transport you directly to the awe-inspiring mountains and deserts of its native Iran. After being meticulously dried using only traditional methods, the result is a perfume-like scent which is balanced by the herbal sweetness, guaranteeing the strongest possible taste with every brew." 50g for £40 at Harrods. (Or, for about $9 you can get about 100g of dried organic rose buds on Amazon, without the tin, and without transporting you to awe-inspiring mountains, etc. and etc.)

A frivolous lemming for Frivolous Friday: the Rosebud Gorjuss Doll from Santoro. And yes, she smells. "Add to your Santoro Gorjuss collection with this Rosebud doll. Wearing an adorable dress with a woven bag, she has roses entwined in her hair and is delicately scented with rose and honeysuckle. When playtime is over, she looks just as pretty up on the shelf– proudly display Rosebud rather than confining her to the toy box." £70 at Harrods.
