The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 24 January 2025 2 Comments

From Carrière Frères, the limited edition Laos Benzoin candle trio: "Married to the Damask rose, the Laos benzoin becomes oriental and floral, wonderfully feminine. Blended with the Siberian fir, it is woody with an underlying resinous note. Combined with Ivory coast cacao, it gains smoothness, becomes heartwarming and voluptuous." $130 for 185g at Carrière Frères.

Scented taper candles from Carrière Frères. "Through this collection of scented taper candles, Carrière Frères brings back the memory of decorative candles used to embellish tables at the beginning of the 20th Century, thus reconnecting us with the early years of the brand, founded in 1884." Available in spearmint, cedar, tomato and jasmine, $44 for 6 at Carrière Frères.

The not-quite-daily lemming

From Carrière Frères, the refillable Geranium / Pelargonium odoratissimum candle, developed in collaboration with the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris: "The scented candle is to its image: a fresh head note filled with grapefruit and hemp flowers; the head note that encapsulates the geranium’s beauty; and a base note featuring patchouli." $85 for 185g; the refill comes in a 100% compostable container and is $55.

From the Winter Collection at Carrière Frères, the Siberian Pine & Winter Rose Candle. "Siberian pine and winter roses make up a woody and floral perfume in which pine needles and rose petals are combined. This candle has a feminine character, and against the backdrop of Siberian pine trees, winter roses have soft, delicate, and deep features." $85 for 185g at Beautyhabit.

We are having a banner year for tomatoes in my little corner of the world. This is what I need for late September, when caprese season ends: Lycopersicon Esculentum / Tomato room spray from Carrière Frères. "A botanical cloud rises in the sillage of the Carrière Frères’ room spray. Its faceted silhouette is an homage to ancient apothecary jars highlighting the herbalist inspiration behind the brand. Made out of recycled and recyclable glass, it comes in the shape of an apothecary flask and is recognizable to its bluish tint. Capped with an oak top and silver pump, the room spray is filled with a 100% natural alcohol-base." $65 for 200 ml at Aedes.
