The (almost) daily lemming

Posted by on Leave a Comment

Let the holiday candle season begin...the Fir (Pine) candle from Cire Trudon for holiday 2019. "...the brand’s Pine candle features woody notes of Siberian pine, Chinese cedar and Spanish cistus, evoking the cosy warmth of being indoors on a winter’s day. Crafted from rich beeswax, it will fill your home with gorgeous fragrance that last long after you’ve blown out the flame." Available in 270g, or in a holiday gift set, 3 x 100g, along with Gabriel and Nazareth. (Several of their other candles are also available at the moment in these limited edition, foiled glass finishes, including Ernesto, Amber and Solis Rex.) At Selfridges in the UK.

I know some of you are just itching for fall weather, and Bath & Body Works has your number. Above, the Sweater Weather candle, with sage, juniper berry, eucalyptus and woods ($25 for 411g), and there are too many other fall-themed candles to count, from Apple Weather to Fall Farmhouse to Vanilla Pumpkin Marshmallow to Cinnamon Irish Cream.

My lemming here is mostly to have someone come and plant miniature cacti in all my old candle jars (and then, presumably, to come back later and replace them). From P.F. Candle Co, a terracotta jar with soy wax candle, in Night Blooming Jasmine, Lavender or Western Red Cedar, $30 at Nordstrom.
