So long as we are catching up on L'Occitane today, we may as well consider their holiday home fragrance for 2020: Tradition des 13 Desserts. "Land of sharing and hospitality, Provence is full of traditions. One of these will satisfy any sweet tooth: the tradition of 13 desserts. In the cozy atmosphere of winter meals, it's customary to share 13 desserts with your guests as a sign of warmth and generosity. Inspired by this tradition, L'OCCITANE brings together dried fruit and cinnamon accords in this candle mingled with the fruity notes of sweet orange, transporting you to this moment of conviviality." Seems lemmable enough, yes? $54 for the 240g candle, $34 for 100 ml room spray, $19 for 100 ml of the refill you can use with any diffuser (and they do sell 2 shapes at L'Occitane). (And for extra reading: 13 Desserts That Are Eaten Every Christmas in Provence at Culture Trip.)
