The daily lemming

Posted by on 2 Comments

Acqua di Parma's holiday collection for 2021 (including the advent calendar) features an Emilio Pucci print, and a portion of the proceeds go to Save the Children's Rewrite the Future campaign. Shown is the Notte di Stelle Diffuser: "The Vortici print dresses up both the bottle and the box of the Notte di Stelle diffuser, a real design object to perfume the home with the special atmosphere of the Holidays. A warm and bright fragrance where the balsamic notes of pine oil and the scents of birch and guaiac wood are combined with the spicy accents of clove and the pungent hint of raspberry." Available in 180 (€91) and 500 (€185) ml. (There is also a candle in two sizes. I have not seen this year's design in the US as of yet, but these are usually sold at Neiman Marcus and other high end department stores.)

Yet another luxury home scenting object from Diptyque: the Stone & Grand Antique Marble diffuser. "Atypical and delightfully decorative. Made from the recuperated cuttings of marble slabs, shaped and polished by hand, each object is unique, and made exclusively for diptyque. The marble known as "Grand Antique" from the Pyrénnée région in France, is one of the most prestigious marbles in the world; instantly recognizable by its bold veins of contrasting black and white. Hand-crafted by the skilled artisans of a studio in the Ariège region of France, specializing in marble and precious stones. For use with diptyque sablier refills, sold separately: imbibe the wool felt contained in the aluminum cup, and then place on sphere, turning it upside-down to release even more delicate hints of perfume." $295. Hat tip to Kevin!

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.)

Oh candles are so much bother anyway. Diptyque's new electric diffuser (shown above right, apparently installed with a dedicated outlet) promises to "activate with a simple touch anywhere on the vent to switch the device on and off". $120, cartridges sold separately for $45 each (it appears to use the same cartridges as the electric Un Air de Diptyque and the car diffusers).
