New summer candles from Glasshouse: Flower Therapy ("If you’re on your own self-love journey, then this one’s for you. Think of it as the fragrance equivalent of buying yourself a fresh bouquet of flowers, whether from your local farmer’s market or your favorite florist in town. With the lush notes of Hydrangea, Wild Poppy, Soft White Musk, and Sheer Powder, it’s like a floral overdose (the good kind) that’s both fresh and joyful") or Mocktail Meditation ("It’s the scent of salted Cucamelon (a hybrid of melon and cucumber), Star Fruit, and a base of Musk, Cedar, and Amber. It’s fruity and refreshing, without being too sweet, just like the perfect mocktail") are $60 each for 380g.
Trudon's "Lost in a moment" limited edition duo for summer, with candles in Under the Trees ("An invigorating green juice Under the Trees unfolds as a refreshing, aromatic-green juice, complemented with bright notes of cedar wood. Its invigorating fragrance is composed of a cucumber accord with a hint of blackcurrant buds in the head notes, a lively spearmint and jasmine heart, fused with notes of cedar in the base") and Summer Haze ("A sweet-floral composition Summer Haze features a sweet and floral scent that exudes pure joy. Sophisticated and daring, the fragrance consists of a red berry macaroon accord in the head notes, an opulent heart of absolute rose and a musky base with warm notes of Tonka bean"). Both fragrances by perfumer Alexandra Carlin, 270g for $140 each at Trudon.
Very much not my lemming, but presumably it is somebody's: the limited edition Infra Luna 2.0* from Byredo. "[...] Taking inspiration from the insect world and transposing it into bold industrial design, experience, form and function intersect with the INFRA LUNA 2.0 desk lamp, the second collaboration between Ben Gorham and [light artist] Benoit Lalloz. [...] In a hybrid project combining scent and sculptural light design, the surprise is visual but also olfactory. Playing with temperature to release the scent of the candle placed underneath - the heat from the lamp’s halogen bulb melts the candle wax - has a spirit that is part lab, part installation. Creating a gentle halo of light and an additional halo of scent, the INFRA LUNA 2.0 is as inventive as it is intriguing." €2500, includes bulb but not candle, available in pink or silver. [*There was apparently a 1.0 version of this lamp back in 2022; I missed it.]
