From Oribe, the Desertland candle: "Transform your atmosphere into the warm air of a green, blooming desert. Our scented candle opens with bright, crisp notes of juniper berry and aromatic lavender wrapped in sunstruck pine and Texas cedarwood, capturing both the sandy heat of the day and cool vastness of the still night." $78 for 227g at Oribe.
Another lemmable item from Diptyque's La Droguerie collection: the Odor-Removing Candle. "The odor-removing candle is based on a technology that targets and eliminates the molecules responsible for unpleasant odors. It replaces those with green and aromatic combinations of basil, mint and tomato leaf. A window onto a fresh and colorful vegetable garden." 190g for $70 at Nordstrom.
From Fortnum & Mason, the Lapsang Souchong Tea Candle. "Unmistakably smoky and evocative of smouldering pinewood fires, our Lapsang Souchong tea inspires the fragrance and aroma of this sophisticated candle. A first in Fortnum's long and storied history, this range of tea candles is made in England and would make a thoughtful gift." £45 for 280g, or £22 for the 75g votive, and both are also available in Countess Grey, Green Jasmine and Rose Pouchong.
