The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 5 April 2021 6 Comments

Yet another luxury home scenting object from Diptyque: the Stone & Grand Antique Marble diffuser. "Atypical and delightfully decorative. Made from the recuperated cuttings of marble slabs, shaped and polished by hand, each object is unique, and made exclusively for diptyque. The marble known as "Grand Antique" from the Pyrénnée région in France, is one of the most prestigious marbles in the world; instantly recognizable by its bold veins of contrasting black and white. Hand-crafted by the skilled artisans of a studio in the Ariège region of France, specializing in marble and precious stones. For use with diptyque sablier refills, sold separately: imbibe the wool felt contained in the aluminum cup, and then place on sphere, turning it upside-down to release even more delicate hints of perfume." $295. Hat tip to Kevin!

    But I can buy a marble ashtray with a rounded indentation in the middle & marble sphere for about $50 – ok it won’t be ‘grand antique’ marble , but I’ll save myself $245 !

      Or, seriously, you could just buy some room spray and be done with it. But of course these sorts of objects are not intended to be cost effective.

    This looks more decorative than functional.

    But very, very decorative, in the right setting…I want the blue one… these ‘wants’ just sneak up on you here, don’t they? I also want the tartan tea set…it is all your fault, Robin… you are my favorite enabler…

      I am glad to enable if you want to be enabled!

      If you don’t, always tell yourself you can have this if you want it, but you might as well wait to see if there’s something better next week :-)
