From the Missoni collaboration at Apothia, the Maremma candle: "The intoxicating fragrance of rich Tuscan Soil, with the unforgettable scent of yellow Helicrysum flowers, Wild Thyme and Italian Sun spiritually embraced in deep earthy notes of Oakmoss and Patchouli."

Mandy Aftel is reopening her Aftel Archive of Curious Scents at the end of this month (it's been closed since last March), and she has a fun new product for serious sampling: the AromaCone. "Our ScentCatcher AromaCone is a scent amplifier that acts like a magnifying glass for your nose. This elegant device focuses the aromas under it and creates a denser stream of odor molecules for you to smell. The AromaCone also maintains "nasal distancing" as part of a contact-free smelling experience. It provides a safe separation between you and what you are smelling, and from the other noses that smelled it before you. Inspired by an original suggestion from Becky Saletan." A set of 20 AromaCones goes for $40 at Aftelier.
