The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 23 June 2018 4 Comments

For fans of indie line Imaginary Authors, here is something new to want: "The Abandoned Mansion Candle by Imaginary Authors is part of the brands debut candle collection, along with Meet Me In The Meadow candle. Years went into the making of these two candles and they are now available for your enjoyment! The Abandoned Mansion candle is a rich and smoky cedar with a fruity quince accord behind the wood. This is a special one and like all Imaginary Authors fragrances, particularly unique. Notes of Cedar, Quince, and Paperbacks. This is a larger than average sized 11oz soy blend candle with a 60 hour burn time." $65 at Twisted Lily, where while supplies last they'll throw in a Short Story sample collection.

Gungor doesn’t claim to have any special powers, like your average intentional journey leader might.

We know scent is closely tied to memory, and on that Marfa afternoon, we made a mixture that, in my mind, will always be associated with speaking freely and knowing deep down what I want.

— Robert Gungor of Nagual in Marfa creates a custom fragrance for Vogue editor Ella Riley-Adams. Read more at I Visited a Perfume Mystic in Marfa, Texas, and Here’s What Happened.

More limited edition collector fragrance bottles, with the usual disclaimers: in most of these cases, the juice is unchanged, just the bottle is “special” (or not, as the case may be), and some of these may not be available in the US. Today’s post includes special edition bottles from Gucci, Jo Malone, Bond no. 9 and Guerlain.

From Gucci, Flora Gorgeous Gardenia in yellow (and you can still find the pink edition from 2017 in stores). “Now presented in a new yellow painted bottle, the fragrance is delivered in limited edition packaging highlighting flora and fauna from the botanical Flora print, designed by artist Vittorio Accornero in the 1960s.” 50 ml Eau de Toilette for $78 at Gucci…
