The daily lemming

Ok, this looks like fun: the Incense Discovery Set by UNUM. "From the legendary house of UNUM - famously known for LAVS, a deeply pure, mysterious incense fragrance that scented the holy vestments of two Popes at the Vatican - a new incense discovery set hails that is unlike any we've seen before. Each kit contains a sculptural cement incense burner in the UNUM style, complete with tong, spoon, matches, charcoal, and a selection of natural resinous incense in the following blends: Dragon's Blood / Black Balsam / Siam Benzoin. A truly unique way to burn and experience the scented aura of natural incense." $140 at Luckyscent.

I still don't need a new incense holder so I wish L'Objet would just stop making them. This is the Oh Mon Dieu! model: "Paris, 1969. It was a time of artistic and sexual revolution. The air was bohemian - raw, wild, playful, and undeniably sexy - in a way the world had never experienced before. Glamour was ageless and effortless, and women were as bold as their lipstick color, flaunting their freedom, style, and powers of seduction. Oh Mon Dieu!" $80 at Aedes.
