The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 20 October 2020 8 Comments

More from Paddywax: the National Parks collection, with crackling wood wicks. A portion of the proceeds goes to the National Park Foundation. If you shop around you can find candles for Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Glacier, Yellowstone, Olympic, Acadia and Great Smokey Mountains (and possibly others I missed). Nordstrom has some of them at the moment ($33-34, plus there is a cute Mr. Kringle Candle plus Match Holder stack), and you'll also find a selection at Amazon.

Diptyque’s holiday collection for 2020 (including the advent calendar) was decorated by artist Ugo Gattoni. This year’s candle line up includes three fragrances with fairy-tale creature decorations: Fleur Majesté (lion; roses with clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon), Ambre Plume (swan; amber, orange, cinnamon and ginger) and Sapin de Nuit (deer; fir, eucalyptus, rosemary and peppermint). There will be the usual 70g mini and 190g sizes, plus coffrets, candle carousels, and etc, and a 600g Roses candle in pink porcelain, plus a perfumed bracelet in Do Son with the three animal charms.

The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 12 September 2020 8 Comments

I don't think I used to think of linden as calming, particularly, but lately I find Astier de Villatte Grand Chalet just that. ("It was here, in this unique landscape with its healing climate, that the painter Balthus made his home, enchanted by the fragrances of milk, honey and hints of citrus from the ancient lime trees that surrounded his studio.") If I had more money to invest in calm, I'd consider the ceramic candle ($140 at Sue Fisher King, or you can get the glass version for $85) and as long as I was investing so much in calm, I might as well throw in the kitty lid, $100).
