Individual, sets of three or my favorite set of eight, you choose. These fragrant candles in decorative tins are a perfect gift for the constant traveler in your life.
If you’ve never been to a hotel that your room has the leftover scent from dinner the night before or the musty scent of the ocean, you’ve been very lucky. I personally take a travel candle everywhere I go.

The set of eight really is the perfect gift for your traveling friend.
It includes candles in the scents of Tuberosa Agave, Cult of Helios, Pink Fatale, Green Datura, Vanity, Corsica, Malayan Coco and Fleur de Café and each candle burns for 45 hours.
You, or they will love it.

For those of you out there who are fragrance aficionados, here’s a new line of fragrances from a young man with considerable history behind his name.Kilian Hennessy is the grandson of the founder of the LVMH group and has created six sophisticated fragrances that are beautifully complex in their composition. You’ll want to try each of them on your skin, as they smell completely different on the blotters as well as on each individual.
(My personal favorite is Straight to Heaven, which is a woody fragrance.)
Each fragrance comes (only) in a refillable bottle in a beautifully finished chest that must be opened by the turn of a tasseled key. The chest and the bottles are emblazoned by the symbol of Achilles shield, which is to be as an offering to the Gods to bring the wearer protection as well as the gift of seduction.
The fragrance collection is only available at Bergdorf Goodman.

Floris was founded by Juan Famenias Floris in 1730 London. Juan set up shop as a barber and comb maker. He soon missed his passion for fragrance…and thus, the Floris fragrance house begins.
Floris at one point made over 100 different fragrances (which has been considerably paired down since then). The quality of all their products is outstanding. It’s obvious why this product has been around for so many years.
Floris retains two Royal warrants (which means that whomever’s warrant is on the product, they endorse it as being of a high enough standard that they would consider using it (or actually do).Floris is still family run (and owned) and in it’s eighth generation of descendants of the original founder. It’s shop (amazingly) remains at the same place of its origin at 89 Jermyn Street in London.
With all this history in place, now we can get onto the product.
My absolute favorite scent in the line is Grapefruit and Rosemary.
It’s a more sour than sweet grapefruit smell, but delightfully fresh and clean. The room spray as well as the candle immediately removes ANY unwanted smell from your powder room as well as from any other room of your home.
The candle retails for $55.00 and the room spray for $32.00
The product is available through London’s Bathecary at www.shoplondons.com

It contains large amounts of natural anti-oxidants, so while you’re enjoying the scent, you’re getting healthier skin. The set includes soap, a lotion and the fragrance.
