Along with yesterday, more for the pile of "spendy things I probably wouldn't like anyway" with lemmable packaging: layered 3 wick candles from Jo Malone, in English Pear & Freesia and Lime Basil & Mandarin (above left) and Pomegranate Noir and Peony & Blush Suede (above right). $245 each at Nordstrom.
The Pop Fizz candle from Sephora: "This candle has notes of blood orange, red currant, and creamy sandalwood that will leave a delicious zest to your space." $18 for 226g.
I have been painting my kitchen this week and too distracted to lemm anything (other than having someone else paint my kitchen), but an email from Arielle Shoshana this morning took care of that: "Régime des Fleurs' new Acanthus candle smells like sticking your head into a lilac bush and breathing deeply. It smells like a 70º April day, warm breeze tugging at the last of the cherry blossom petals. It smells like the spring we missed this year." Aha. $95.
For their 25th anniversary, Aedes de Venustas is bringing back the Encens Japonais candle they did for their 10th anniversary (and which Kevin said was a great candle). It's a limited edition, and 15% of the proceeds will go to the Covid-19 Emergency Relief Fund. "Escape into a magical world, where the beauty of scent stirs the imagination and evokes wondrous dreams. A luxurious scent of exotic Japanese incense intertwined with the softness of leather, balsam and the sensuality of musk. The honeyed bitterness of strawflowers lends a velvety richness to the voluptuous sweetness of precious woods." $75. (Hat tip to Kevin!)
Cire Trudon's latest candle: "At the base of the High Atlas Mountains, the Ourika Valley is where it flourishes: iris thrives on sun and an essentially pure rural life. La Belle Matière Ourika marries a floral head note composed of gardenia, rose and magnolia with the spicy notes of benzoin and pink peppercorns to highlight iris’ sensual and powdery nature." $115.
