Limited edition candles from A1 (yep, the steak sauce folks): "Give the gift of meat and make every room smell deliciously tasty. With three distinct “flavors,” these A.1. Meat Scents are the perfect thing to make anyone hungry and happy. So now you don’t have to do the whole cooking thing to get that hearty smell." Available in Original, Burger and Backyard BBQ, $14.99 each here.

The last time I bought a Papier d'Arménie candle, I had to have it shipped from London. Beautyhabit currently has all 3 variations (Traditional, Rose, and my favorite, Francis Kurkdjian's Arménie) in stock, 220g each for $35. A box of 6 packets of the burning papers is $32.

Muru incense pyres from Blackbird: "Muru is a sophisticated and rich, green, woody-earthy smell. Burning Muru imparts a foreign, exotic feel to any atmosphere. The name Muru means grass in Estonian." With vetiver, yuzu, cypress and soil; 20+ cones for $34 at Blackbird. (These are the ones I've had my eye on, but reader favorites mentioned in the comments recently include Ploom, Gorgo, Lone, Targa and Tilde.)
