The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 3 April 2026 5 Comments

From Otherland, the Georgette candle, with magnolia, lily of the valley and amber. I cannot verify the size, but they used to be $36 for 227g and now they are all $20 — the only thing in the world that costs less than it did a few years ago — and I can't figure out why...at Otherland.

    I’m on their mailing list and I remember them sending out an email explaining some time ago, but can’t remember exactly why. All I can vaguely recall is that she sold the company and they reduced prices not long thereafter. I haven’t bought any candles from them since before the sale, so can’t comment on whether quality also dropped.

      Yes, it definitely has to do with selling the company. I think when they dropped prices they mentioned being tasked with streamlining packaging, reducing the number of candle options, and I think for the most part they also started having the bulk of the line available all year instead of limited releases.

      I have bought from them since they were sold and dropped prices, and I’ve found the scents and quality to still be the same.

        Thank you both!!! $20 for a full sized candle is pretty darned cheap.

          Yes! I’ll take a look at them again, but the problem of course was always that I have to go to the U.S. to get them. And I think my favourite candle (Sriracha Rose) did not survive the cull.

          Apparently they’re selling at Target now, I see from their website?

            Aha. I do go to Target once in a blue moon, thanks!
