No, it's not perfume, but I'll take a Year of the Dragon Hat Box from La Maison du Chocolat anyway: "Celebrate the 2024 Year of the Dragon with the finest chocolate. For this Lunar year we selected the perfect combination of sweet and savory pieces that are sure to please when gifted, with company, or by yourself." With Gesture Gift Box 16 pieces, Flavored Truffle Gift Box 13 Pieces, Madagascar Tonique 67% Bar and Passion Vibrante Bar, all in a red hatbox, $275 (well, let's hope the dragon is feeling prosperous).
The daily lemming
A (not perfume) lemming for Gingerbread House Day (for those of us far too lazy to make an actual Gingerbread House): the limited edition Gingerbread chocolate bar from Compartés in Los Angeles. "Compartés' Gingerbread chocolate bar is studded with golden spicy gingerbread cookies and crystallized ginger pieces on a bed of Compartés decadent gourmet dark chocolate. Perfect for a holiday stocking stuffer or, better yet, just to snack on as a gift to yourself. It's the best of all things gingerbread and chocolate crammed into one delicious holiday bar." $12.95 at Ministry of Scent.
Friday scent of the day 7/7
Happy Friday and happy World Chocolate Day! Our community project for today: wear a perfume with a chocolate note, with bonus credit if chocolate (or something related to chocolate) is in the name. If you don’t have a perfume with a chocolate note, partial credit for wearing something with a note you like to eat with chocolate.
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
I’m in Sarah Jessica Parker Covet. (And a little PSA: it’s been a busy week and I am terribly behind. I have not even read Wednesday’s damage poll yet. I hope to catch up by Sunday…)
The daily lemming
From French artisanal chocolate company Maison Bonange, the Noir 70% Bio & Géranium bar: "The Porcelain Trianon was designed by Louis le Vau for the Sun King and included beds of rare and fragrant flowers. One can imagine that geranium flowers, very fashionable at that time, lined the paths of the gardens. In memory of this sumptuous building that disappeared in 1687, Maison Bonange offers you a tablet in which floral flavors are superimposed on the delicacy of a powerful and generous chocolate." 80g for $7 at Beautyhabit.
The daily lemming
I am not prepared to spend $15 for the opportunity, but I would sure like to try one (or maybe two) of the Medjool Dates, Pecans, Himalayan Salt Bars from Spring & Mulberry ("Crunchy, chewy, salty, and sweet, this bar brings together buttery, slow-roasted pecans and caramelly Medjool dates for a toothsome mix that’s hard to stop munching.").
