The daily lemming

Part scientist, part wacky art lady
I think a lot of people would be surprised at the level of detail that goes into every aspect. Candles and fragrance sounds like an art kid’s dream (and it is!) but it’s also extremely technical and requires precision at every level. Every element of our candles is tested regularly and has been fine-tuned over time — plus we’re always thinking about how we can improve. Our fragrances start with my very precise olfactive briefs and our fragrance house brings them to life. I sometimes feel like I’m part scientist, part wacky art lady and I love it.

The daily lemming
From Nest, a 3 wick candle in Indian Jasmine: "Immerse yourself in the lush jasmine fields of India with this scented candle featuring an intense jasmine absolute surrounded by bright red berries, sparkling bergamot, and spicy pink pepper." (And yes, there are clearly 4 wicks in the image, so who knows.) 600g for $89 at Nordstrom.
The almost-daily lemming
From Scents of Wood, the Bread in Chestnut candle: "An explosion of refined balsams in Scents of Wood's Bread in Chestnut candle brings a golden opulence to the gourmand category. Perfumer Meabh McCurtin created a decadent and comforting balsamic bread signature by combining the buttery, creamy facets of sandalwood with the toasted warmth of bran absolute and almond tonalities of tonka bean. Fresh, camphoraceous rosemary and smoky incense cut through the gourmand sweetness to give it more depth. The result is a refined edible fragrance that is inviting and addictive." $70 for 225g at Ministry of Scent.
