I'll take two, please: the Ormonde Jayne Ta'if candle. "Ta´if is an intoxicating and audacious rose scent from the town of Ta´if which sits above the shores of the Red sea and overlooks the Arabian desert. This perfume dislikes daylight preferring dusk, the night, parties, promises and assignations. It is an opulent composition which makes a bold entrance and is confident enough to sweep everyone else to one side - a real belle of the ball. Ta’if Eau de Parfum is created with Ta’if rose oil and is an opulent composition which makes a bold entrance - flamboyant but sophisticated." $85 for 290g at Aedes.

Yum. "Rooibos Honey is inspired by the Rooibos tea from South Africa. Baruti's Rooibos Honey room spray is a super-realistic blend that smells exactly like when opening a bag of tea! A pure treat to the senses for lovers of natural smelling Rooibos teas...This bottle of Parfum d’Ambiance is part of the Teaism collection. The blends are made with only the very best raw materials, including actual tea extracts." $76 for 500 ml at Indiescents, and also available in Rose, Gardenia and Oud Bukhoor.

Ok, this looks like fun: the Incense Discovery Set by UNUM. "From the legendary house of UNUM - famously known for LAVS, a deeply pure, mysterious incense fragrance that scented the holy vestments of two Popes at the Vatican - a new incense discovery set hails that is unlike any we've seen before. Each kit contains a sculptural cement incense burner in the UNUM style, complete with tong, spoon, matches, charcoal, and a selection of natural resinous incense in the following blends: Dragon's Blood / Black Balsam / Siam Benzoin. A truly unique way to burn and experience the scented aura of natural incense." $140 at Luckyscent.

I'm pretty sure I could run through a bottle of Daphne Flower Room & Linen Spray from Antica Farmacista while waiting for the spring flowers to start blooming: "Daphne Flower is an alluring and bright floral fragrance inspired by the daphne odora flower, found in the Pacific Northwest. A floral mélange built on notes of effervescent daphne, orange blossom and honeysuckle. Sweet meyer lemon and dewy green notes add an element of sparkle while Baltic amber and a clean white musk accord add a soft finish to the brilliance of daphne, evoking memories of springtime." $28 for 100 ml at Nordstrom.
