The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 6 October 2026 4 Comments

Diptyque’s holiday collection for 2026 will again (boo!) dispense with the pre-2025 trio of limited edition fragranced candles and focus on Sapin, the pine tree fragrance, in an “enchanted forest” collection in collaboration with artist Jean-Simon Roch. There are three sizes of the Sapin candle, the usual carousels and shaped wax pillars, a variety of wood candle lids (see below), etc etc, plus a very large 6-wick pillar of Feu de Bois shaped like a tree trunk (see below), a snow globe with a rabbit on skis, and a scented wooden spinning top (see below).

Count me in as a definite maybe: Swiffer Lemon dusters. "Swiffer created the new Swiffer Lemon Duster to add a bit of joy to one of America's most disliked household chores. While consumers love the feeling of a clean home, many dislike dusting and often put it off. By combining Swiffer's trusted dust-removal performance with a refreshing lemon scent, this new product helps transform dusting from a chore consumers avoid into a more satisfying cleaning experience", available in regular and heavy duty refills and starter kits. Target has the heavy duty refills for $15 for a box of 11.

Another option for tomato, Voluspa Tomato Trellis Room Spray: "With notes of Sunlit Bergamot, Garden Mint, Rosemary Sprigs, Roma Tomato Leaf...[the] collection features odor-neutralizing technology designed to help eliminate unwanted remnants from creations in the kitchen. The fragrance works by first capturing odor molecules, then neutralizing them—so unpleasant odors fade as the scent fills the space. The odor neutralizing technology is featured in all formats. Kitchen duty is on us", $28 for 100 ml at Candle Delirium, where you'll find the same fragrance in a variety of candle sizes.

From Heretic, another room spray in collaboration with the Edward Gorey Charitable Trust, this one (possibly) perfect for riding out a heat dome: Sumptuous Afternoon. "Sumptuous Afternoon captures the unsettling brightness of a garden party that has gone on far too long: tart Victorian lemonade steeped with black tea, freshly clipped hedges exhaling their green insistence, and sun-warmed linens drifting lazily toward decay." $45 for 200 ml at Revolve.
