The candle I need for today's chilly rain: After Hours from Glasshouse. "The scent of Rum and sweet Vanilla swirled with Leather and toasty Tobacco will draw you in to a clandestine bar where the sound of jazz piano plays and Champagne is ever-flowing." 380g for $55 at Glasshouse.
From Homecourt (the "Beauty of Homecare" brand founded by actress Courteney Cox earlier this year), Steeped Rose Surface Cleaner: "An unadulterated floral that stays true to its namesake bloom—stems, thorns, and all" // "A clean formula for the cleanest counters. A concentrated spray that lifts away dirt, smudges, and grease without leaving streaks or residue." $20 for 473 ml at Homecourt, and also available in dish soap, hand wash, hand cream and candle. Currently there are three other fragrances: Neroli Leaf, Cipres Mint and the brand signature, Cece (cedarwood smoke, cardamom and leather).
Holiday candles from Paddywax: "a handpainted Nutcracker candle that fills your space with festive fragrance and makes a charming addition to your Christmas décor", in (left to right) Wassail, Balsam & Fir and Pomegranate Spruce. $60 each at Nordstrom.
From Mrs. Meyer's, Fall Leaves Dish Soap: "Like walking in the woods on a sunlit afternoon, the earthy scent of crunching leaves brings all the feels of fall". $4.79 for 473 ml — a bargain, plus ringthing and hajusuuri both vouched for the fragrance. Also available in soy candle, multi-surface spray and liquid hand soap.
