The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 8 December 2020 11 Comments

Boujee Bougies is a new candle brand, and many of you know one or more of the principals behind the project. Nick Gilbert, who used to comment here regularly when he was working a perfume counter, went on to work for Les Senteurs, Penhaligon's and L'Artisan before launching Olfiction along with Thomas Dunckley (you might know him as The Candy Perfume Boy), Ezra-Lloyd Jackson and perfumer Pia Long. Their five offerings include Succulent ("With juicy green notes of cactus and tomato leaf, Succulent is verdant and fresh, evoking a glass conservatory overflowing with lush tendrils") and Queen Jam ("Queen Jam is a Finnish conserve made from raspberries and bilberries...Our Queen Jam throws in a few roses..."), as well as Cuir Culture ("pup masks, leather jackets, old books"), Gilt ("whispered confessions, incense smoke, gold leaf") and Hellflower ("sulphur, burning flowers, brimstone"). 60g for £25 or 220g for £55, at Boujee Bougies.
