The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 17 June 2022 6 Comments

From Oribe, the Desertland candle: "Transform your atmosphere into the warm air of a green, blooming desert. Our scented candle opens with bright, crisp notes of juniper berry and aromatic lavender wrapped in sunstruck pine and Texas cedarwood, capturing both the sandy heat of the day and cool vastness of the still night." $78 for 227g at Oribe.

Another lemmable item from Diptyque's La Droguerie collection: the Odor-Removing Candle. "The odor-removing candle is based on a technology that targets and eliminates the molecules responsible for unpleasant odors. It replaces those with green and aromatic combinations of basil, mint and tomato leaf. A window onto a fresh and colorful vegetable garden." 190g for $70 at Nordstrom.

From Fortnum & Mason, the Lapsang Souchong Tea Candle. "Unmistakably smoky and evocative of smouldering pinewood fires, our Lapsang Souchong tea inspires the fragrance and aroma of this sophisticated candle. A first in Fortnum's long and storied history, this range of tea candles is made in England and would make a thoughtful gift." £45 for 280g, or £22 for the 75g votive, and both are also available in Countess Grey, Green Jasmine and Rose Pouchong.

Two reasonably priced candles from Ikea: at left, Pakostad ("crisp and refreshing scent of grapefruit"; $10 for 45 hr burn time) and at right, Jamnmod ("a summery feel of sweet peas, lilacs and morning dew"; $22 for 60 hr burn time).

Pretty candles in mouth blown Murano glass (reusable!) from Stories of Italy. The Ginger Ginger Ginger (and tripled is usually how I like my ginger) is advertised as "Milanese panettone with spice", and the candle is a good size (700g / 100 hour burn time) but it is not cheap: $210 at Nordstrom. (And if you have time to kill today, check out the drool-worthy items at the Stories of Italy website. I will take that Winter Olla vase, thank you.)
