The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 24 January 2025 2 Comments

From Carrière Frères, the limited edition Laos Benzoin candle trio: "Married to the Damask rose, the Laos benzoin becomes oriental and floral, wonderfully feminine. Blended with the Siberian fir, it is woody with an underlying resinous note. Combined with Ivory coast cacao, it gains smoothness, becomes heartwarming and voluptuous." $130 for 185g at Carrière Frères.

    A couple of friends and I are planning a trip to France in the spring, so perhaps we can sniff the candles in person.

      What fun!!

      This was a limited edition for the holidays but I am quite sure you will find good candles to smell regardless 😉
