I don't think I used to think of linden as calming, particularly, but lately I find Astier de Villatte Grand Chalet just that. ("It was here, in this unique landscape with its healing climate, that the painter Balthus made his home, enchanted by the fragrances of milk, honey and hints of citrus from the ancient lime trees that surrounded his studio.") If I had more money to invest in calm, I'd consider the ceramic candle ($140 at Sue Fisher King, or you can get the glass version for $85) and as long as I was investing so much in calm, I might as well throw in the kitty lid, $100).
I wouldn’ t mind that candle, I love Grand Chalet the perfume.
At the moment, it is on the top of my list of things I might break my 30 ml rule for. But I probably won’t break the rule.
Wait – the lid is extra?
Oh but yes.
I think I’ve said this before but the Grand Chalet incense is superb and is a bit less budget-killer.
I am pretty sure you have, yes! And I have considered it. I think I’d rather have the candle but it kind of doesn’t matter since I am not likely to end up with either.
It is a shame though that AdV does not sell an incense sampler…that I would probably spring for. (Or they do sell it and I have just not seen it.)
Maybe I can host an incence split at the split meet!
Oh great idea! I would be up for that.
