The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 26 October 2022 8 Comments

From Costes, the Golden Candle: "...the iconic candle of the Hotel Costes since 2001, which marks the olfactory imprint of the place, is covered by hand with real gold leaf and comes with a set of mystery matches. A unique and heady scent that captures our senses as soon as we walk through the door. Perfumer Olivia Giacobetti has reinterpreted the olfactory imprint of the Hotel Costes by adding a note of rose to this baroque emanation of precious woods, rum and beeswax." $120 for 250g at Luckyscent.

      It really is gorgeous. And the price is not as bad as I expected.

    WTH are “mystery matches”? They may or may not light? They randomly explode? They burn with colors? Now I’m intrigued 🤔

      You open the package and they’re tiny Slim Jims.

    That flame looks like an elongated candy corn.
