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.

The Mimosa candle from Czech & Speake: "scent your home with the luxurious aroma of the new Mimosa Candle. First alluring blend of light, green geranium and rich notes of ylang-ylang which unfold to reveal an exquisitely floral heart of the finest mimosa and jasmine oils. The base of the fragrance brings together spicy notes of clove and woody benzoin, for a rich, warm finish. An atmosphere full of character", 180g for $65 at Czech & Speake.

From Audo Copenhagen, the Menu Wet Ink candle: "Thought to page, inspiration strikes, ideas emerge. Designed to refine the senses and rouse inspiration, Wet Ink greets with a bouquet of fresh mint and uplifting grapefruit. Accompanied by subtle notes of cedarwood and amber and a hint of sweet cannabis to create, focus or effect a vision." On markdown, $22 for 80g (votive size) at Audo Copenhagen.

The latest home fragrance collection from Cire Trudon, Figuerie, with Fig Leaves and Hyacinth: "Inspired by the Figuerie of the royal kitchen garden in Versailles, the collection captures the scent of a fig tree at the first light of spring. Fresh fig leaves and vegetal notes meet deeper woody and earthy accords, reflecting the contrast between sunlight and the shaded greenhouses of the royal gardens. In a variety of sizes and formats, the 270g candle is $135 at Trudon.

All of Parfum d'Empire's candles are tempting. To stay on theme, there's Ambre Absolu ("Moroccan cistus absolute blends its deep resinous facets with the essences of Atlas cedarwood and raw Indian patchouli. Smooth blond vanilla from Madagascar is matched with vibrant clove and cinnamon from Ceylon in these utterly sensuous, tawny accords"), but looking forward to summer, I'd go for Le Potager Oublié ("...heirloom vegetables and aromatic herbs grow wild in a forgotten kitchen garden") or Lys Casablanca ("the noblest, headiest of all lilies"). $65 each for 200g at ZGO Perfumery in San Francisco.
