You know if I wanted that one I want this one even more: L'Artisan Parfumeur's L'Ambre candle in a special limited edition for Cabana Magazine's 10th anniversary. "With notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and tonka bean, this candle is a true sensory delight. Hand-painted and crafted with care, this candle is an ode to Amber with its perfect blend of spice and sweetness." $250 for 400g at Cabana Magazine.
I never get tired of this
I never get tired of this. I put it on in the morning and it stays with me all day. People in New York, Europe, and Australia have stopped and asked me what the scent is. Some actually have taken out pieces of paper and written the name down. It has a mixture of spice and floral scents that really works for me. I don’t have to look up the notes — I know what’s in it as soon as I smell it.

L’Artisan Parfumeur will launch Il Était Un Bois, a new fragrance…
The daily lemming
More Year of the Dragon: Passage d'Enfer Extrême Dragon from L'Artisan Parfumeur. "To mark the Lunar New Year 2024, the emblematic Passage d'Enfer Extrême is unveiled in a new collector's edition, under the sign of the Wood Dragon. L'Artisan Parfumeur pays him homage, adorning the mystical fragrance with gold. The Eau de Parfum reveals unsuspected warm and woody facets of incense blended with the whiteness of sandalwood and the languour of vanilla." $230 for 100 ml at L'Artisan Parfumeur USA.
The daily lemming
Add to my pile of "want, never going to pay for" lemmings (although as these things go, the price could be much, much worse): the limited edition La Figue candle from L'Artisan. "Handcrafted in France at a renowned French manufacture, this exquisite porcelain candle is adorned with a beautiful hand-painted design. Its captivating fig fragrance encompasses the essence of the tree in its entirety – from its luscious fruit to its leaf and wood. This candle is encased in a limited edition sleeve inspired by the winter herbarium, evoking the essence of the festive season." $280 for 400g at L'Artisan Parfumeur, where you'll also find the candle in L'Ambre, or in a boxed set of both for $560.
