The daily lemming

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.

Diptyque Scented sticks

Do I want these? I have no idea. Diptyque's Scented Sticks in benjoin: "Inspired by an unprecedented technology, this surprising object offers a new way to perfume your home by trapping the fragrance concentrate in a sheet of paper. Several scented sheets are then rolled together to form a stick with a persistent sillage. The paper stem can be used on its own. A bouquet of them can also be placed together in a vase. Sold with three small paper cones, the perfumed stems of the Benjoin scent evoke creativity. The cones and stems can be arranged at different angles to create your own unique sculpture. It is a lightweight, surprising object that offers new ways to diffuse a scent in your home." $78.

Orbella's new Fragrant Moss is bioengineered to smell like patchouli (earthy and spicy), linalool (floral and fresh) or geraniol (rose-like and bug repelling). "Orbella Fragrant Moss is a line of home fragrances cultivated in a glass terrarium. Using nature’s simplest ingredients — sunlight, CO2, and water — Orbella delivers a safer, cleaner, greener alternative to chemical-based air fresheners. No solvents. No phthalates. No petroleum by-products. Just fragrance made the natural way." If you're seriously interested, you might also note that "Current purchases will be eligible for a free upgrade (moss only) to the new enhanced fragrance strength strain of the moss when it's available." $79 at Orbella, found at Geek.com.

Ikea Frishket

Ikea's new Friskhet series includes a number of scented candles plus these air freshener dohickies: "You decide how much scent you want the scent container to emit by how much you open its holes. The scent will last longer if you close the holes completely when you are not using the scent container." Available in Lilac (the color, not the scent: "Gives off a refreshing scent of grass, vanilla and sandalwood") or Gray ("Gives off a refreshing scent of sandalwood, cedar and vanilla"), $1.99 each.
