I still don't need a new incense holder so I wish L'Objet would just stop making them. This is the Oh Mon Dieu! model: "Paris, 1969. It was a time of artistic and sexual revolution. The air was bohemian - raw, wild, playful, and undeniably sexy - in a way the world had never experienced before. Glamour was ageless and effortless, and women were as bold as their lipstick color, flaunting their freedom, style, and powers of seduction. Oh Mon Dieu!" $80 at Aedes.

How to use the Hibi incense matchsticks.
Posted by Robin on 8 Comments

Japanese company Hibi makes an "incense match", with the tag line "10 minutes aroma". "Strike the match on the side of the box, let it burn down a safe distance, extinguish match, then rest the extinguished matchstick on Hibi's exclusive mat (included with every box), then enjoy the pleasant aroma for at least 10 minutes." Armitage McMillan in Colorado has three of the fragrances, at $10 for 8 matchsticks: Sandalwood, Japanese Cypress and Tea Tree. (There are a bunch of other scents if you want to search for a source, including Yuzu, Geranium, Lavender, Cinnamon, Lemongrass, Ylang Ylang and Citronella.)

Archipelago cannot be bothered to describe their Botanico de Havana incense set, but what I can see in the box looks like incense sticks, cones, and some sort of holder / burner? They do provide the scent notes: bergamot, ylang ylang and tobacco flower. $20. You can find the same scent in everything from a personal fragrance to hand cream to soap-on-a-rope.
