The almost-daily lemming

The holiday candle trio from Maison Francis Kurkdjian for 2026: “This holiday season, Côté Cour and Côté Jardin take the stage alongside Mon beau Sapin. Echoing the theatrical splendour of the Grand Siècle, Côté Cour reveals its notes of rice powder, iris, and sweet violet, a tribute to the art of stage makeup, while Côté Jardin breathes a trail of softly-crushed fresh-cut herbs, intertwined with the delicacy of roses and the cool freshness of lush green foliage. Reigning over the season, Mon beau Sapin illuminates the scene with a woody, softly resinous fragrance. Three festive, refined candles in homage to the Grand Siècle, to awaken the magic of the holidays.” The set is 3 x 75g for $115, or buy them individually, 250g for $115, at Neiman Marcus.
