The almost-daily lemming

From Cereria Molla, the Gingerbread Madeleine candle: "Sweet Spiced Christmas! A fragrance that wraps you in fresh citrus and warm spices, blending with the sweetness of icing sugar, cinnamon, and meringue milk, and resting on a comforting base of vanilla and sponge cake, evoking the magic of Christmas", $50 for 230g at Candle Delirium.

A FlordeMusgo candle from Xinú, done in matte black in a limited edition collaboration with designer Willy Chavarria. ("The Comunión Candle Set was created with Xinú for the Willy Chavarria SS27 runway presentation. It pairs a special edition FlordeMusgo Candle, in a matte black vessel with a custom Willy Chavarria medallion, with a Comunión Palito made from driftwood collected along the coasts of Mexico. Each palito is engraved for the collaboration and wrapped in thread infused with the fragrance.") With lime, tuberose, moss and cedar, 250g for $120 at Willy Chavarria.

L'Occitane's holiday collection this year includes two limited edition fragrances: Veillée Pralinée ("A festive evening in the heart of a Provençal bastide. A warm and gourmand blend of praline and sandalwood") and Nuit en Pinède ("A serene winter escape. A fresh and aromatic blend of Scots pine and peppermint"). Both are available in bar hand soap, liquid hand soap, hand cream (30 and 150 ml), candle (180g) and diffuser, plus a variety of gift sets. I do not know how many of these will make it to the US, but you can pick up the hand creams, candles and liquid hand soap now at L'Occitane USA.

The holiday candle trio from Maison Francis Kurkdjian for 2026: "This holiday season, Côté Cour and Côté Jardin take the stage alongside Mon beau Sapin. Echoing the theatrical splendour of the Grand Siècle, Côté Cour reveals its notes of rice powder, iris, and sweet violet, a tribute to the art of stage makeup, while Côté Jardin breathes a trail of softly-crushed fresh-cut herbs, intertwined with the delicacy of roses and the cool freshness of lush green foliage. Reigning over the season, Mon beau Sapin illuminates the scene with a woody, softly resinous fragrance. Three festive, refined candles in homage to the Grand Siècle, to awaken the magic of the holidays." The set is 3 x 75g for $115, or buy them individually, 250g for $115, at Neiman Marcus.
