The daily lemming

A lemming for fans of Maison Margiela's Replica candles? The Replica Candle Holder: "Elegant and sophisticated, the Maison Margiela candle holder will magnify your REPLICA scented candle. Thiis [sic] luxury accessory is inspired by Maison Margiela fashion’s way of twisting a daily life object. Here, we twisted a lamp: the electric bulb is ironically replaced by the candle flame and the pleated fabric of the lampshade by the facetted glass. The candle holder creates a cozy atmosphere at home as the warm light of the flame goes through the facets of the glass. The candle holder is designed for the 165g candles and includes a cap to protect your candle from dust wen [sic] not using it." $165, coming soon at Maison Margiela.

Spendy little home fragrance items from luxury tableware brand Ginori 1735. At left, the Il Letterato Lavander Designer candelabra ("a porcelain sculpture in the form of a bust. The upper part is adorned with a hat-like cylindrical container, designed to carefully protect the candle and its wisdom"), packaged with six 40g Purple Hill (floral) scented candles, $410. At right, the Cameo incense burner La Gazelle d'Or ("sauntering in the shady gardens of La Gazelle d’Or, one chances upon an incense holder: an oval cameo with the serene gaze of a classical face outlined in relief"), incense sold separately, $340.

I'm still hankering after the tomato candle from Nette (although obviously not bad enough to actually buy it), and here's another for my list: Chai Milk. "Fingertips to your lips, hush in the midnight hour. Steamed milk, a secret spice, spells for the lovelorn. Frothy clouds rise up and up. One cardamom bud in your cup. This inky black morning alone with you. Like a perfect steaming hot chai latte on a chilly fall day." $82 (even more than the tomato! but that one was 170g, this one is 340g) at Beautyhabit.
