The daily lemming

The handsomely done 2019 Artist Edition of Acqua di Parma Colonia (you can see 2018's here): "Acqua di Parma celebrates the Holiday Season with Gio Pastori...A paper-cut artist with a strong sense of colour, Gio has drawn inspiration from the famous advertisements of Depero, interpreting in his own way the elegant essential nature of Acqua di Parma." £155 for 180 ml at Harvey Nichols, and the same design can be found on a candle and diffuser, and on all the brand's outer packaging for holiday 2019.

Want: Kerzon's quartet of votive candles ("Make a wish! Our magically fragranced votives will make those long winter nights feel like a dream"). Shown are Tour d'Argile ("...a powdery note of iris talc with a green heart note coated with linseed oil"), Dame de Myrrh ("A tribute to Cleopatra, Dame de Myrrh evokes the mystical scent between sacred rituals and femininity, with a citrussy head of mandarin and hints of lavender") and Fou d'Incense ("A nod to the Asian origins of the Chess game.  A slight hint of camphor evokes the famous tiger ointment with an aromatic top note of eucalyptus, lavender and mint"). Not shown is Roi de Cuir ("Comfortably seated in a club chair, a cigar in one hand, a novel in the other, its scent envelopes with a sweet top note and a floral heart of geranium on a background of vetiver, vanilla and leather"). 220g each for $42 at Aedes.

Diptyque gets a lot of play in the daily lemming because they keep making things I want, or at least, that look from the picture like I might well want them. (Amount of money I have actually spent on Diptyque products this year: $0.) Here's a particularly silly one, since I need a snow globe about as much as I need a hole in the head, and it isn't even scented so it has no real business here, but there it is. "Each figure in the snow globe embodies a wish for the holidays and the year to come. The green jasper beetle, the tiger, and the shooting star symbolize protection. The crossed fingers, Japanese cat, four-leaf clover, and the Asian elephant symbolize luck. The ladybug, crane, horseshoe, swallow, and holly symbolize harmony." $85 smackeroos, will make all your dreams come true, and matches the 2019 holiday candles and candle carousel.

This caught my eye first because chocolate, then because of the price. Theodent's Fluoride-Free Chocolate Toothpaste ("Presenting a non-toxic, fluoride-free alternative to traditional toothpastes, Theodent harnesses the power of natural ingredients to provide protection for the whole family. With cocoa beans and Rennou – an extract found in chocolate – this revolutionary formula will strengthen the teeth enamel without posing harm if swallowed.") is £140 for 96g at Harrods. (In the US, you can find it on Amazon for about $125. There is a much cheaper kid's version for about $16.) Why doesn't Marvis make a chocolate toothpaste?

From the new Art de Vivre collection at L'Occitane, Douceur Immortelle, shown in bar soap ($14) and candle ($29), also available in room spray ($34) and diffuser refill ($19). "After a long warm day, the sun-drenched soil of Provence releases a scent beautifully infused with flowers and herbs. The warmth of these summer evenings has a splendor that deserves to be shared. L'OCCITANE has captured this warmth in a candle with a blend of essential oils of Immortelle, Basil, Cypress, Eucalyptus and Litsea Cubeba. Together, they express that exquisite, enchanting softness of the evening air and bring you a moment of well-being and conviviality."
