The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 20 April 2019 4 Comments

Mostly, I want this jar: the Coconut & Palm candle from Nest. "Crushed coconut and sparkling bergamot are mingled with rich amber over a base of vanilla-infused musk. No passport necessary: Transport yourself to balmy beaches and sparkling shoreside sunsets with our new tropical-inspired Summer `Scape Collection. The essence of a chill getaway, this collection features brightly decorated ceramic vessels in unique hexagonal shapes, bringing vacation vibes to your everyday. These beautiful vessels feature original artwork inspired by indigenous designs." Limited edition, and also available in Hibiscus & Dragon Fruit (pink and orange) and Pineapple & Driftwood (yellow, orange and blue). $46 at Saks Fifth Avenue; the matching diffusers are $52.

It seems likely I've included this in a gift post before, but I've never bought one. Maybe I should? It even looks cheerful. Have any of you ever owned a Carthusia candle? The Mediterraneo scented candle is available in 2 sizes, 70g and 190g. The 190g size is $56 at Bigelow Chemists.

Sigh...another Cire Trudon lemming, like I didn't have enough already. The new Salta candle: "Blended with verbena and hyacinth, the grapefruit fragrance is aromatic. Considered by the Chinese as one of the three holy fruits with peach and lemon, the grapefruit was a symbol of prosperity and fertility. Also highly prized by the Greeks and the Romans, the hesperide has a crisp freshness: known for its rich terroir and unique soil, the Salta region enhances the citrus’ intensity." 270g for $115 (ouch, somebody tell me next time they have a coupon) at Beautyhabit.

"Discover Lys [ fresh-cut lilies] and Narguilé [honey, tobacco leaves and a handful of spices], two new additions to diptyque's repertoire of 49 candle fragrances. Burned together, their scents mingle and banter, like a conversation between two lovers in a desert garden at twilight..." $130 for the two 190g candles in a box decorated with a Pierre Frey design.
