The room spray I should have thought to buy weeks ago: "Scent your home with Czech & Speake's luxurious signature Frankincense & Myrrh scent. An exotic blend of spicy frankincense and earthy myrrh, with layers of rich cedarwood and sandalwood, fresh basil and pimento leaf topped with citrus notes of orange and lemon." $55.00 for 100 ml at Aedes.
From Byredo, the limited edition Trois Encens set: "Uncover a sensory experience like no other with the Trois Encens set from Byredo, featuring 60 incense sticks in three of the brands’ iconic perfumes – Bibliothèque, Tree House, and Burning Rose. Handmade in Tokyo through techniques dating back to 400 years, these fragrance sticks are larger than traditional Japanese incense, which results in a slower burn time so you can take in the captivating aroma for longer. Housed inside an intricately embossed pewter holder, this coveted selection makes for an ideal gift to ignite moments of reflection and calm." £90 at Liberty.
From Joya in collaboration with indie film studio A24: "We made car fresheners with A24! Experience our Movie Genre Candle collaboration in automotive form. Now, road trips can smell less like ambiguous pine and more like the rich mandarin of Horror, the smoked tar of Fantasy, or the wild honey of Noir. Available in all nine existing fragrances: Western, Horror, Musical, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Thriller, Adventure, Rom-Com, Noir." $12 each at Joya Studio.
Aha, it’s been some years since I checked out the candle collection at Gucci, and lo and behold, they are still making candles I want and can’t afford. This one is the Mehen rose print (“The scent, Mehen, combines aquatic ingredients such as Persian blue salt, seaweed and water moss with licorice, capturing the essence of a water snake. The name Mehen is a reference to the Egyptian deity—a coiled up snake—recalling the various depictions of the symbolic animal throughout the House narrative”) and it’s $430 (house narratives don’t come cheap, my friends, but monthly payments are available), which is about $380 more than I’d like to spend and it’s an aquatic which I probably would not like anyway…
A soy candle for Holiday 2021, from Rifle Paper Co: "This holiday candle brings to mind memories of cozy nights by the fire, fresh balsam fir and boughs of cranberries dipped in frost." $34 for 270g at Nordstrom.
