The (almost-)daily lemming
A candle in a can: "The iconic metal can is reinvented as a scented candle, as indulgent as it is rebellious. A flame that releases a soft, almost sweet warmth, where powdery notes mingle with enveloping sensuality. Impossible to define. Even harder to resist. Its scent doesn’t tell a story. It evokes a Gaultier memory. That of a slightly open vanity, forgotten powders, secrets whispered under the breath. An intimate trail, reimagined. More than a candle, it’s a presence. A Gaultier madeleine that doesn’t just recall the past… it warms it." $63 for 300g at Jean Paul Gaultier.

Friday scent of the day 4/24
It’s Friday plus National Pig in a Blanket Day and The International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace. Birthdays: Anthony Trollope, Elizabeth Goudge, Willem de Kooning, Robert Penn Warren, Gabriel Figueroa, Barbra Streisand, Jean Paul Gaultier. Our community project for today: celebrate Gaultier’s* birthday by wearing one of his fragrances. If you don’t have one, wear anything that you think works with the JPG aesthetic, or maybe a fragrance that you’d put in a torso-shaped bottle? Or, as usual, be as creative and/or farfetched as you like with the theme.
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
I’m in Jean Paul Gaultier Ma Dame (2008, Francis Kurkdjian), which I thought was a reasonably good match with the brand — it’s fun — and the OG bottle with its embedded torso** was a nice nod to Classique…
