Kevin loved Otherland's Extra Hour candle when he reviewed it back in 2019, and it's back in stock for Otherland's spring collection 2023. His words: "...a lovely melange of what smells like grapefruit peels mixed with fresh mint and peppery shiso...a candle/cocktail that's a perfect summer scent. It brightens my mood to smell it." Still $36, at Otherland.
Otherland has two candle collections out for the holidays: Adorned and Gilded. From the Adorned set ("inspired by the downtown discothèque, where the silhouettes shimmer with soul, diamonds duet to disco, and glitzy golds galavant with glee....a celebration of a winter wonderland in the grooviest of ways"), Dessert First, with notes of gingersnap, black cardamom and milky tea. $36 for 277g at Otherland. (A number of these collections are reissues. You can see Kevin's review of Black Velvet, Fallen Fir and Old Fashioned, all in the Gilded collection, plus you can still get others he reviewed from older collections: see Rattan, Kindling, Cardamom Milk and Tapestry.)
From Otherland's Garden Party collection, Ultraviolet, with jasmine tea, purple violet and wild lavender. All five candles in the collection are currently 40% off at Nordstrom, $21.60 each for 277g.
From Homestead, the new fall candle collection at Otherland, Berkshires Granola, with oat milk, toasted granola and pumpkin seed. (Also tempting, Sriracha Rose, with hot chili, rose and pomegranate.) $36 at Otherland.
Mr. Bubble Bubble Bath. It comes in a classic, electric-fuchsia-pink plastic jug. It’s this sort of Eau de bubble gum with a sticky banana sweetness, fruit punch and candied cherry. Whenever I see that fuchsia color, I can smell that Mr. Bubble distinctive aroma in my mind. I actually recently bought it, and it still smells exactly the same.
