Eau d’Italie released Bois d’Ombrie* in 2006 — and I loved it. I was going to buy a bottle but something terrible happened and I didn’t want to associate the perfume with personal sadness. A smell can attach itself like glue, or a leech, to an event and its associated feelings.

Diptyque gets a lot of play in the daily lemming because they keep making things I want, or at least, that look from the picture like I might well want them. (Amount of money I have actually spent on Diptyque products this year: $0.)

"Each figure in the snow globe embodies a wish for the holidays and the year to come. The green jasper beetle, the tiger, and the shooting star symbolize protection. The crossed fingers, Japanese cat, four-leaf clover, and the Asian elephant symbolize luck. The ladybug, crane, horseshoe, swallow, and holly symbolize harmony." $85 smackeroos, will make all your dreams come true, and matches the 2019 holiday candles and candle carousel.
