The (almost) daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 28 August 2020 Leave a Comment

Pumpkin spice season starts in earnest around early August, so we're already late. One of Voluspa's efforts (yes, there are more), the Mini Spiced Pumpkin Latte Candle Pairing Gift Set, with 72g votive candles in Whipped Coconut Crema, Kabocha Pumpkin Pulp, Cinnamon Spiced Brulée and Fluffy Vanilla Marshmallow, $38 at Sephora.

Flowers + food, from Voluspa. Candles in Violet & Honey ("The Macaron collection features glass textured with a soft swirl pattern colored to match the cookie that inspired it. Violet & Honey is a fresh scent with notes of sweet crème lavender honey and sugared violet petals.") and Rose Petal Ice Cream ("This candle is presented in a textured glass vessel with a classic geometric 3D cube pattern and is colored to match the rose that served as fragrance and packaging inspiration. The fruity, floral scent features notes of vanilla bean ice cream, tart raspberry ribbon, marshmallow vanilla crème and sugared rose petals.") Both are available in 4 sizes ($13–$40) at Nordstrom.

Voluspa's Baltic Amber Room Spray & Body Mist features amber resin, sandalwood, cedar and vanilla orchid, and a very pretty bottle.

Delicate traditional Japanese floral designs applied to their most creative fragrance palette yet. May be used as a room spray or body spray, with fragrance that delights the senses and adds luxe to everyday living. Give your room a spray with the Baltic Amber Room Spray and Body Mist." $24 for 100 ml at Candle Delirium.

Fire, Twigs & Smoke ~ home fragrance reviews

Posted by Kevin on 21 April 2015 32 Comments

home fragrance items

I live in a house that’s almost 100 years old; with me are two male cats (and their three litter boxes — yes, they have more “bathrooms” than I do) and my partner (who cooks all the time — seafood, Indian, Thai, Burmese, Mexican, Middle Eastern and Italian food — pungent stuff!) Apart from doing a “country-house-style” cleaning a few times a year (scrubbing walls, floors, ceilings and everything in between) I rely on scented products to make my environment smell a little better than it would if I simply relied on open windows and elbow grease. I’m a big user/addict of, pardon the cuteness, candles (fire), diffusers (twigs) and incense (smoke).

Like all scented products, home fragrance prices have skyrocketed; this post will concentrate on “affordable” (or at least reasonably priced) items. Please chime in with your own favorites in all categories. The comments from my recent soap post provided sensational ideas for soap fiends; I hope this article will generate the same response for home fragrances fanatics…
