The almost-daily lemming

Posted by on 3 Comments

Orange Blossom Room Spray, one of the recent additions to the Loewe home fragrance collection. "The ‘Orange Blossom’ room spray evokes the aroma of orange tree flowers with its complex, honeyed, earthy-yet-clean scent. Its citrus, sweet and freshly green aspects unfold to reveal notes of beeswax, soap and soil over time. The glass bottle features a glazed ceramic stopper and a cotton label, lending organic textures reflective of the scent’s botanical inspiration." $125 for 150 ml (organic textures don't come cheap!) or $110 for a 170g candle, at Loewe.

Striking, with a price to match: the new candle collection from Alexander McQueen. Shown is Pagan Rose ("The Pagan Rose candle is based around the tension between fragile wild rose and earthy peat. The scented candle comes in a vessel made of black lacquered glass and a shiny gunmetal metal lid, coming together to create a final organic and architectural form. A blend of black mineral waxes and rapeseed wax is presented in a fully recyclable wooden crate"; the notes also include cognac) 200g for $395 at Alexander McQueen.

More bananas! "Boy Smells introduces Banana Pudding, a candle fragrance that transports you to the West Village — home of the original Magnolia Bakery. You’ve wandered onto the corner of Bleecker and West 11th and are overcome by the wafting smells from the Magnolia Bakery mingling with fresh cardamom and strong smoked guaiac wood that are both nostalgic and indulgent, enveloping you like a big hug." $48 for 240g at Magnolia Bakery or Boy Smells.

Bananas! From Wary Meyers: "The scent of bananas when they’re at their perfectly ripest - not green, not mushy, but how you’d think bananas smell when you see a picture of a giant bunch of them at a fruit market in the sun-drenched tropics. Or picture you just lopped of [sic] a bunch from a banana palm to use as a pillow as you fall asleep on a hot exotic beach. How this translates to your living room is intriguingly unexpected. Its scent is neither food nor fruit, but vibe. Adding to its unique quality, this delectable candle comes with a sheet of 14 different stickers for you to decorate your own jar." $44 at Luckyscent.
