The daily lemming
From Scandles, the Red Heirloom Tomato Candle: "Beautifully molded from a real tomato, this soy-wax candle smells deliciously of tomato leaves and looks yummy enough to eat (but please don't).

The daily lemming
A springtime lemming courtesy of Kevin: Trudon's Versailles candle. "A quintessential accord representing French gardens in spring, both very floral and refreshing. The Versailles Collection, already iconic with its frozen azure-blue vessel and its both highly floral and refreshing fragrance, captures an atmosphere as refined as it is whimsical: a garden created from scratch to entertain and enchant a king, his court and his friends." With litsea cubeba, mint, peonies, thyme, rosemary, tuberose, linden, honeysuckle and oak. In 4 sizes, €42 - €520 (these are not yet on Trudon's US site).
The almost-daily lemming
Diptyque's limited edition Fleur de Cerisier is back for 2024 with a highly lemmable floral design: "The Fleur de Cerisier (Cherry Blossom) scented candle is back to celebrate the spring season and its delicate, ephemeral pink blooms. As summer approaches, it will be carried away by the breeze like fluttering petals." In 190g, currently at Diptyque in Hong Kong for HK$600 but scheduled for worldwide release.
