Prolong your summer without going broke: the Monoï Candle from Yves Rocher. "Create a calming and exotic atmosphere with this Monoi scented candle." 70g for $10 at Yves Rocher USA.
The daily lemming
From Diptyque's upcoming Grand Tour collection, the Paris candle. "The fragrance, developed by Olivia Giacobetti, evokes that of a stroll along the quays of the Seine – the weeping willows lining its banks, the polished wood scents of the antique stores along with those of the Parisian cobblestones and of the pages of antiquarian books. Inspired by an old display stand for diptyque candles, the sculpted black wood lid is a nod to the history of the Maison, concluding this initial olfactory, cultural and historic stopover."
The daily lemming
The perfect lemming for Book Lovers Day, courtesy of Oakland Fresca: the Scents Gift Box from The London Review of Books. "Beethoven beguiles the ear, Ingres the eye and Ferran Adrià the tongue, but of all the senses scent is perhaps the most neglected. Here’s our personal selection of books to make you smell wonderful." With Perfume by Patrick Suskind, The Secret of Scent by Luca Turin and The Emperor of Scent by Chandler Burr, plus a Made by Coopers Happy Room Spray in 100 ml (with lime, clementine and basil). £45 at the LRB Bookshop.
The daily lemming
From Pikoc, Laundry Detergent in Oranger En Fleurs: "An invitation to travelling, the sun, to summer. The neroli in its splendor fuses its honey and citrus notes to offer you a fresh and vibrant solar scent." 1 liter for $25 at Beautyhabit.
The (almost) daily lemming
From the Missoni collaboration at Apothia, the Maremma candle: "The intoxicating fragrance of rich Tuscan Soil, with the unforgettable scent of yellow Helicrysum flowers, Wild Thyme and Italian Sun spiritually embraced in deep earthy notes of Oakmoss and Patchouli." Additional notes include bergamot, honey fig, watery greens, lavender and jasmine. $115 (ouch!) at Apothia in Los Angeles.
