The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 10 January 2024 4 Comments

From Nest, a 3 wick candle in Indian Jasmine: "Immerse yourself in the lush jasmine fields of India with this scented candle featuring an intense jasmine absolute surrounded by bright red berries, sparkling bergamot, and spicy pink pepper." (And yes, there are clearly 4 wicks in the image, so who knows.) 600g for $89 at Nordstrom.

From Scents of Wood, the Bread in Chestnut candle: "An explosion of refined balsams in Scents of Wood's Bread in Chestnut candle brings a golden opulence to the gourmand category. Perfumer Meabh McCurtin created a decadent and comforting balsamic bread signature by combining the buttery, creamy facets of sandalwood with the toasted warmth of bran absolute and almond tonalities of tonka bean. Fresh, camphoraceous rosemary and smoky incense cut through the gourmand sweetness to give it more depth. The result is a refined edible fragrance that is inviting and addictive." $70 for 225g at Ministry of Scent.

Add to my pile of "want, never going to pay for" lemmings (although as these things go, the price could be much, much worse): the limited edition La Figue candle from L'Artisan. "Handcrafted in France at a renowned French manufacture, this exquisite porcelain candle is adorned with a beautiful hand-painted design. Its captivating fig fragrance encompasses the essence of the tree in its entirety – from its luscious fruit to its leaf and wood. This candle is encased in a limited edition sleeve inspired by the winter herbarium, evoking the essence of the festive season." $280 for 400g at L'Artisan Parfumeur, where you'll also find the candle in L'Ambre, or in a boxed set of both for $560.

From Parfums de Nicolaï, a Christmas Pudding candle: "Christmas pudding is a fruity, spicy treat with soft brioche notes. Reminiscent of a traditional Christmas pudding with custard, the vanilla facets channel the aromatic inflections of berries, grapes and plums. Clove and cinnamon are at the heart of this berry note, with vanilla and caramel coating the flavourful festive scent." 190g for €54.

From Aedes de Venustas, the Cellarius candle: "Perfumer Olivia Giacobetti created the scent of an old-world astronomical observatory inspired by Andreas Cellarius, a Dutch–German cartographer and cosmographer best known for his Harmonia Macrocosmica, a major star atlas from the year 1660." With spices, papyrus, rosewood and cedar, $79.50 at Aedes.
