The daily lemming
Campbell's "The Scents of Sides Season" limited edition candle collection goes on sale November 18 here and will probably sell out pretty quickly. The fragrances: Green Bean Casserole ("Top notes of cream and celery blend into fried onion and mushroom, with a base of buttery green beans"), Jalapeño Cheddar Mac & Cheese ("The spiced aroma of warm, gooey cheese baked to perfection with a hint of jalapeño adding a kick to the scent of melty cheddar"), Apple, Fennel & Herb Stuffing ("The smell of savory fennel, thyme and rosemary in this stuffing-inspired candle will instantly transport you to Thanksgiving dinner") and Everything Bagel-Seasoned Mashed Potatoes (What? Is this a thing?? "A creamy, buttery scent complemented by notes of garlic that brings the cozy, savory aroma of mashed potatoes to your home"). $30.

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.
