The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 14 April 2021 2 Comments

From the Convo collection at Ginger June (you pick one of their messages, you pick one of their scents), the Hey Mom, Sorry About My Teenage Years candle. There are 12 scents (my picks: Apricot + Fig, or maybe Havana), and two sizes ($21 or $28).

From Aesop, the Callippus candle: "...titled for an astronomer of Ancient Greece famed for refining the planetary theory of his time. Its woody, earthy, green fragrance alludes to rituals overlaid with the drifting smoke of incense. // Scented candle redolent of ritual in its inclusion of Frankincense, Guaiacwood, and fresh notes of Shiso." 300g for $110. (Written on the inside: 'Nothing gives rest but the sincere search for truth.' Blaise Pascal)

Mizensir keeps right on making candles I want. This one is a whopping 700g with two wicks, plus, that color! The limited edition Freesia de Alba: "More than a color, a feeling. In a garden, an immensity of blue. Musk and fleur d'oranger subtly tuned to bergamot, lavender and rosemary add a touch of freshness to this pure blue. All that remains is to dive into the water." €149.

From Yield's Architect Series, the Entenza double wall candle: "Inspired by the natural surroundings of the Case Study Homes in the Pacific Palisades. The scent harnesses the essence of coastal California. Always fresh and timeless." With notes of eucalyptus, rosemary and birch, $38 at Nordstrom.

New Yin-Yang candles from Paddywax: "These unique 11 oz. ceramic candles have two separate fragrances that can stand alone or create a new delightful aroma when burned together. Yin & Yang encourages slowing down and finding inner peace." The black candle (shown) holds Palo Santo and Cade candles, there is also white (Teak and Black Salt), pink (Cactus Flower and Water Mint), blue (Sea Moss and Sage) and green (Green Tea and Aloe). Around $33.
