The not-quite-daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 1 June 2023 Leave a Comment

From Carrière Frères, the refillable Geranium / Pelargonium odoratissimum candle, developed in collaboration with the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris: "The scented candle is to its image: a fresh head note filled with grapefruit and hemp flowers; the head note that encapsulates the geranium’s beauty; and a base note featuring patchouli." $85 for 185g; the refill comes in a 100% compostable container and is $55.

From Lumira, the Cyprès de Provence scented candle: "LUMIRA's candle evokes a Mediterranean journey, capturing the sweet essence of Orange Blossom and the woody notes of Cypress trees lining the streets of Provence. It's blended with spicy Pink Pepper and Cardamom and balanced with a warm base of Oriental Vanilla, Cedarwood, Amber and Musk." 300g, marked down from $70 to $42 at Net-A-Porter.

Basically if Cire Trudon makes something new, I want it. Here is Tuileries, celebrating Trudon's 380th anniversary. "The Tuileries collection finds its inspiration in a rare document kept at the French National Archives: the Gazette des Atours de la Reine. In what seems like an ordinary notebook, countess Geneviève d’Ossun – a French courtier who served as lady-in-waiting and first maid of honor to Marie Antoinette – gathered many fabric samples used to tailor the sovereigns’ many dresses and royal outfits. The fragrance was conceived as an homage to the rose, the Queen’s favorite flower throughout her life." Additional notes for the fruity floral chypre include pink pepper, blackcurrant, mandarin, white flowers, raspberry, geranium, musk, patchouli, sandalwood and vanilla. Candles in 4 sizes ($55 - $690) or diffuser ($250), at Trudon.
