The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 19 May 2026 3 Comments

Coming soon from Diptyque, the limited edition Pinède candle: "Diptyque Pinède (Pine Grove) Classic Candle unfolds with that sun-warmed calm the house does best. Housed in a glass vessel, Mathilde Jonquière’s mosaic-inspired design recalls a water-garden landscape. The fragrance leans woody and aromatic, a chorus of umbrella pines meeting a herbarium of notes—warm underbrush, flowering shrubs, and the brightness of orange trees by sunlit fountains." The 190g candle will be about $94, and the green lid shown above will not be included in the price.

The Nest Grapefruit candle, in a limited edition design by artist Pierre Marie: "The exhilarating scent of pink pomelo, grapefruit, and watery green notes is brightened by Marie’s trademark ornamental design. The candle is meticulously crafted with a proprietary premium wax formulated so the candle burns cleanly and evenly as it infuses the atmosphere with exceptional scent". $99 for the 600g, 3 wick version, at Bergdorf Goodman.

From Liberty London, the Stately Bouquet candle: "A warming and spicy home fragrance, Liberty's Stately Bouquet scented candle is designed to set the tone of your home with its inviting aroma. A mix of spice and cashmere with a hint of fruit’s sweetness, and base notes of sugared patchouli and cashmere that will wrap your guests in a gentle fruity glow." $80 for 200g at Arielle Shoshana.

A candle in a can: "The iconic metal can is reinvented as a scented candle, as indulgent as it is rebellious. A flame that releases a soft, almost sweet warmth, where powdery notes mingle with enveloping sensuality. Impossible to define. Even harder to resist. Its scent doesn’t tell a story. It evokes a Gaultier memory. That of a slightly open vanity, forgotten powders, secrets whispered under the breath. An intimate trail, reimagined. More than a candle, it’s a presence. A Gaultier madeleine that doesn’t just recall the past… it warms it." $63 for 300g at Jean Paul Gaultier.

Among the new candles from Diptyque this spring, Sésame Noir: "In the heat of the oven, black sesame seeds slowly turn golden brown. Their dry, spicy aroma fills the air with intensity. Roasted black sesame seeds are enveloped in woody accords and notes of roasted hazelnuts. An enduring, rounded scent." $90 for 190g at Diptyque.
