A double not-happening for me, since they are in the UK plus they are sold out, but the Mandarin candles from Esh ("Our flagship product! A set of two scented mandarin orange style candles made with a blend of 100% soy wax, recycled cotton wicks, natural mica colourants and cold-pressed essential oils including Mandarin, & Tangerine.") look highly lemmable, and they also make scented candles in Meyer Lemon and Lime. £17 for a set of two at Esh. (via Financial Times; hat tip to Kevin!)
Any Emeraude fans need a candle? The Holiday edition from Harlem Candle Co: "The Holiday candle is inspired by [Billie Holiday's] favorite perfume, Emeraude, an aromatic green blend of fresh Winter spruce, pine needles, mint-infused eucalyptus, fir balsam and spicy cedarwood developing into a feminine heart of ethereal blue hyacinth. Strong and full-bodied, yet fragile and dreamy… just like Lady Day. Sets a beautiful mood for holiday time and all year round." $45 for 340g at Harlem Candle Co, where you'll also find the same scent in a "Night-Club Map of Harlem" collector edition for $50. Hat tip to Sara!
Two of the candles from the new-ish collection by Emma Shipley, best known for her fabrics and wallpapers: Amazon (left; "The bespoke scent was created to evoke the jungle dreamworld behind the Amazon design, with juicy notes of ripening fig set on a fresh yet woody base of cedarwood creating a playful melange of aromas.") and Caspian (right; "The bespoke scent was created to evoke the fairytale story behind the Caspian design, with notes of Madagascar Vanilla Pods, complemented by resinous and warm Sandalwood.") £95 each for 650g at Emma Shipley, where you'll also find more designs and infusers.
Yet another lemmable holiday scented candle: the Liberty x Bongénie Grieder Bois d'Or from Mizensir. "The Bois d'Or scented candle by Mizensir comes here in a stencil embellished with an enchanted alpine forest print which was created thanks to the exclusive collaboration for Christmas between Bongénie Grieder and the London house Liberty. It entices with notes of cedar wood and licorice mingled with patchouli, sandal wood, leather and incense." 230g, 75 CHF (about $85) at Bongénie-Grieder in Switzerland.
Boujee Bougies is a new candle brand, and many of you know one or more of the principals behind the project. Nick Gilbert, who used to comment here regularly when he was working a perfume counter, went on to work for Les Senteurs, Penhaligon's and L'Artisan before launching Olfiction along with Thomas Dunckley (you might know him as The Candy Perfume Boy), Ezra-Lloyd Jackson and perfumer Pia Long. Their five offerings include Succulent ("With juicy green notes of cactus and tomato leaf, Succulent is verdant and fresh, evoking a glass conservatory overflowing with lush tendrils") and Queen Jam ("Queen Jam is a Finnish conserve made from raspberries and bilberries...Our Queen Jam throws in a few roses..."), as well as Cuir Culture ("pup masks, leather jackets, old books"), Gilt ("whispered confessions, incense smoke, gold leaf") and Hellflower ("sulphur, burning flowers, brimstone"). 60g for £25 or 220g for £55, at Boujee Bougies.
