The (almost) daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 3 March 2021 7 Comments

From (Annick) Goutal, Une Maison de Campagne room spray: "...whisks you away to a bucolic garden where wildflowers bloom among blackcurrant bushes and brambles laden with blackberries. A fragrant art of living that gives your home a new story to tell." Shown in the 100 ml room spray (€49), also available in a candle.

The daily lemming

So long as we are catching up on L'Occitane today, we may as well consider their holiday home fragrance for 2020: Tradition des 13 Desserts. "Land of sharing and hospitality, Provence is full of traditions. One of these will satisfy any sweet tooth: the tradition of 13 desserts. In the cozy atmosphere of winter meals, it's customary to share 13 desserts with your guests as a sign of warmth and generosity. Inspired by this tradition, L'OCCITANE brings together dried fruit and cinnamon accords in this candle mingled with the fruity notes of sweet orange, transporting you to this moment of conviviality." Seems lemmable enough, yes? $54 for the 240g candle, $34 for 100 ml room spray, $19 for 100 ml of the refill you can use with any diffuser (and they do sell 2 shapes at L'Occitane). (And for extra reading: 13 Desserts That Are Eaten Every Christmas in Provence at Culture Trip.)

Diptyque holiday candles 2020

Diptyque’s holiday collection for 2020 (including the advent calendar) was decorated by artist Ugo Gattoni. This year’s candle line up includes three fragrances with fairy-tale creature decorations: Fleur Majesté (lion; roses with clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon), Ambre Plume (swan; amber, orange, cinnamon and ginger) and Sapin de Nuit (deer; fir, eucalyptus, rosemary and peppermint). There will be the usual 70g mini and 190g sizes, plus coffrets, candle carousels, and etc, and a 600g Roses candle in pink porcelain, plus a perfumed bracelet in Do Son with the three animal charms.

Also worth coveting, two more items scented with Sapin de Nuit…

The (almost) daily lemming

Extremely high on my list of things I want but will probably never see and would not pay the price for anyway: Loewe Beetroot room spray, from their new home collection that I also never would have heard of if the Times hadn't covered it last week. Due to launch in September, €85 for 150 ml. "Home fragrance with beetroot essence. Olfactory creation that highlights nature’s most authentic and pure scents. Glass container with glazed ceramic stopper and cotton label, providing organic textures to the product." For €70 there is a wax candlestick (see above, it looks like a candle in a holder but the whole thing is wax and so you have to put it on a plate or whatnot, and they do of course sell a black glazed terracotta base just for this purpose, €20) and also for €70 there is a regular jar candle (that's the small one shown above; the large is not yet on their website), and a diffuser for €210. Everything also comes in Honeysuckle, Luscious Pea, Tomato Leaves, Ivy, Liquorice, Marihuana, Juniper Berry, Cypress Balls and Oregano. I'll take the lot.
