The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 12 November 2024 8 Comments

From La Double J, the Taormina candle: "An ode to the rugged sensuality of the island of Sicily, this scent is a verdant medley of fresh clementine, exotic tamarind, orange and wild thyme, evocative of hot summer nights wandering the Medieval streets of Taormina. Accented with 18K gold, use the beautiful porcelain vessel as a bud vase, a makeup brush holder or simply as a gorgeous objet on your hallway mantle"; 320g for $180 at Bloomingdales.

    Wow – I love that – totally my taste. AND I love citrus notes of all kinds so the notes are good. However, the price…so unfortunately, I will not be purchasing!

      Yeah. It is a really big candle, shame they did not do a “normal” size.

        Also would have been okay with me to skip the 18K gold.

    Similar colorful vibe, vastly lower pricepoint (even with shipping from the UK):
