From French artisanal chocolate company Maison Bonange, the Noir 70% Bio & Géranium bar: "The Porcelain Trianon was designed by Louis le Vau for the Sun King and included beds of rare and fragrant flowers. One can imagine that geranium flowers, very fashionable at that time, lined the paths of the gardens. In memory of this sumptuous building that disappeared in 1687, Maison Bonange offers you a tablet in which floral flavors are superimposed on the delicacy of a powerful and generous chocolate." 80g for $7 at Beautyhabit.

A lemming courtesy of Kevin: a Smoking Tiger and Magpie Incense Burner from Pinch of Clay. "This incense burner includes a tiger + matching dish + and a small box of Nag Champa cone incense. The inspiration came from Korean Minhwa (folk art painting), where a tiger hangs out with a magpie in front of a pine tree. In Korea, almost every tale starts with "Back when tigers used to smoke," instead of "Once upon a time";  $120.  For alternatives, see the smaller smoking kitties here and here.

From Costes, the Golden Candle: "...the iconic candle of the Hotel Costes since 2001, which marks the olfactory imprint of the place, is covered by hand with real gold leaf and comes with a set of mystery matches. A unique and heady scent that captures our senses as soon as we walk through the door. Perfumer Olivia Giacobetti has reinterpreted the olfactory imprint of the Hotel Costes by adding a note of rose to this baroque emanation of precious woods, rum and beeswax." $120 for 250g at Luckyscent.

Guerlain's Imagine (the 2019 fragrance that was a redo of 2011's London) in a collector bottle for Holiday 2022. "For its 2022 Millesime, L’Atelier Truscelli imagined a sumptuous bee-shaped gold-plated jewel, handset with more than 150 sparkling crystals and trimmed with a trail of shining stars. // The orange blossom note carries all the way to the stars a trail whose luminous softness contrasts with its magical intensity, blending precious sandalwood with delicious benzoin resin." Limited edition, 3960 were made, $650 for 145 ml Eau de Parfum at Guerlain. (And if you have even more pennies to spare, the Advent Calendar is in stock for $690.) Update: see comments, perhaps this is unrelated to 2011/2019 London / Imagine.
