Goutal’s Chat Perché and Malle’s Sale Gosse ($280) have had blockbuster sales since they launched. Both Goutal and Malle were surprised by the enthusiasm with which adults have embraced these fragrances for themselves. Is it a sign that we might all be looking for a bit of innocence and nostalgia in these stressful and divisive times?

The daily lemming
Scented candles from Annick Goutal's new Home Collection. Right now I am lemming the green one ("Un Jardin Aromatique draws inspiration from the great tradition of English gardens that display an extraordinary palette of colours and scents, mixing aromatic plants like sage, mugwort and mint with freshly cut grass.") or the black (not shown; "Bois Cendrés tells the story of a magical and mysterious wood where anything is possible. A flash of sparks releases an enchanting swirl of woody smoke.") $72 for 185g. Over the pond, they also sell refills (€37, about $43) so you can reuse the glass.
