From Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier, Acajou Amber Balls: "...in the French tradition of pomanders, or highly perfumed balls used to fragrance the home. These beautiful terra cotta balls are finely crafted, chiseled, and patinated by hand. Then, a unique solid perfume of amber, balms, vanilla, and tree moss is placed in its heart. This sweet and warm amber scent will be diffused for several months for a luxurious and soothing atmosphere." $110-$225 at Luckyscent; the 50g refill jar is $85.
From Lush, a Cinnamon Orange bath oil bar: "A cozy way to kick off your holidays, this spicy little number looks great hanging from the tree and works even better floating in the tub. Just break off as much as you’d like or hold it under the tap to release a well-deserved cinnamon and clove leaf relaxation session. As benzoin resinoid warms and eases your muscles, fair trade organic cocoa butter and fair trade shea butter soften your skin." $8.95.
