From the Missoni collaboration at Apothia, the Maremma candle: "The intoxicating fragrance of rich Tuscan Soil, with the unforgettable scent of yellow Helicrysum flowers, Wild Thyme and Italian Sun spiritually embraced in deep earthy notes of Oakmoss and Patchouli." Additional notes include bergamot, honey fig, watery greens, lavender and jasmine. $115 (ouch!) at Apothia in Los Angeles.
From French company Amen, the Third Eye candle (and yes, there are candles for the other six chakras): "AMEN’s mindful candles have been hand-poured using 100% natural vegetable wax in Grasse, France - according to VOGUE, it’s the very town where Coco Chanel sourced blooms for her historic No. 5 bottle. Named after the third eye chakra, the awakening Jasmine fragrance has been developed in collaboration with Dr. Simrat Kaur who founded the Brazilian wellness center, Medicina da Consciência." 200g, $89 at Net-A-Porter.
From Tory Burch, the Normandy Rose candle ("in a stoneware vessel is inspired by the 19th-century English stoneware that both Tory and her mother, Reva, collect"), with cassis buds, rose, violet, peony, ebony woods, peach nectar and tree moss. $78 for 226g at Nordstrom.
Some day, I will go to Geneva and buy all the Mizensir candles (and the pencils too). This one is a limited edition in a ceramic jar made by Louisa McEwan / A Place By The Lake, in Palissandre Des Indes ("A quintessentially luxury compound, this fragrance of roughly processed precious wood gives way to the intense notes of Ceylon cinnamon. Pure refinement in perfume."), €190 at Mizensir. (There are also 5 other styles / scents in the collection.)
Hopefully the last lemming from Diptyque's Summer Essentials collection celebrating the brand’s 60th anniversary: the (huge) Citronelle candle. "With its lively, aromatic notes, lemongrass instantly evokes summer evenings when the sun has disappeared from the horizon and the air in the garden cools down. Perfuming and mosquito repelling, this candle is dedicated to moments like these. Here, lemongrass, luminous, reveals floral and citrusy facets where it meets verbena, neroli and orange blossom. The artist Luke Edward Hall has illustrated in colour the iconic oval of this limited-edition candle." 1.5g for $360 at Neiman Marcus (and there is also a 198g candle in glass for $68).
