The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 9 December 2025 Leave a Comment

From D'Orsay, the limited edition 18:18 Bois Imaginaire holiday candle: "A woody, aromatic scent imagined by Yann Vasnier for D’ORSAY, evoking an imaginary twilight walk through a pine forest — where bark, sap, and needles release a resinous breath, both raw and delicate, like a secret nature whispers at the edge of night. A tender, almost whispered rendezvous suspended in time, 18:18 Bois Imaginaire captures the hush of winter’s stillness — luminous, contemplative, and quietly enveloping."$130 for 250g at Aedes.

From Apotheke, the Bitter Cherry Classic candle: "Bitter Cherry balances the tart aroma of exotic black cherry with spicy cardamom and sweet patchouli enriched by creamy sandalwood and tonka bean. Added hints of earthy black violet, warm oud, and smoked vanilla form an enticing and succulent fragrance". $48 for 296g at Apotheke.

Just what it looks like: a maple syrup candle in a maple syrup can. "Give your home a warm, comfortable feel with this softly scented maple candle. At first glance, it looks like a can of pure maple syrup. But instead of syrup, it contains a premium soy wax candle that fills your home with the soothing scent of maple as the natural wood wick crackles cozily like a wood-burning fire." $19.95 at Vermont Country Store.

From Boy Smells, the XXMas Tree Holiday Magnum Candle: "Wreaths, woods and winter air. A bold, surround sound take on the classic pine scent. This is the forest turned all the way up: green and resinous with a touch of cold seaside wind and fading winter light. It’s the kind of scent that pulls you deeper into the stillness of the woods. It’s crisp, atmospheric and awakening." 765g (approximately) for $94 at Boy Smells.
