Godiva Candle Collection, Mmmm

Filed under: Decor, Cosmetics and Fragrance

Chocolatier Godiva recently introduced its Home Fragrance Collection of five candles, in collaboration with Laura Slatkin, wife of Harry, of Slatkin & Co.

The nicely-packaged candles come in five scents: Holiday Peppermint Bark, Milk Chocolate Truffle, Black Almond Truffle, White Chocolate Magnolia, and Raspberry Ganache.

The candles are the brand's first foray into the home fragrance category in its more-than 80-year history and represent a departure from Godiva's traditional culinary products.

Neiman Marcus carries the collection. One of these would make a lovely host gift. Reasonably priced at $22.50 each.

Celebrity Restaurant Grease Fuels Growing Business

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Is there a market for celebrity restaurant grease? Further makes hand soap and candles from waste grease of some of Los Angeles's finest restaurants. The business began when Marshall Dostal began using restaurant grease and converting it to biofuel for his car. His wife Megan, a former event planner for Vogue Magazine, saw the drums of glycerin, a byproduct of the process and a business was born. Further products use an aromatic scent of bergamot, olive and exotic grasses. The Further candle is made from purified waste grease from Mario Batali and Nancy Silverton's delicious Mozza restaurant and sells for $24. I love this idea, I think there could be a whole line of signature candles for various restaurants.

Jonathan Adler Candle For Your Hippie Love Den

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Popular designer and potter has always had a risque side. Two years ago, we covered his condom caddy decorated with squiggly spermatozoa. Now check out his Hashish candle. The candle is scented with black currant, green apple, wormwood, patchouli and moss. It combines in a porcelain container emblazoned with marijuana leaves. The listing at Unicahome promises that "when the candle burns out the porcelain vessel makes the perfect stash box." Perfect, maybe. Discreet? Not so much. It sells for $68.

Bravit Candles Shift Shape While Burning

by Lisa Palladino (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

These very cool "pathing" candles -- Bravit Decoration Candles, by Authentics ($28) -- leave you in the dark as to what shape they will become while burning. Due to the weaving wick, they will continually change shape as the wick moves about. The wick formation also will cause the flame to split into two at any intersection. Available in a number of patterns on different Web sites, and also available in the numbers 0-9 ($24); great idea for birthday parties! You'll also want a base ($6-8), available on the same page as the first candle linked in this post. As seen on youTube!

There's no easier or simpler way to both boost your mood and give an entire room a makeover than to infuse it with a beautiful scent. The Michael S. Smith Collection for Agraria is a great way to do that, with two scents available in your choice of mix and match candle, fragrance sheets, and AirEssence options. The new fragrances, Angkor and Palma, are born of quite different inspirations -- Angkor coming from deep in the Cambodian rainforests and Palma heralding from sunny Mallorca.

Kissing Candlesticks

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

A romantic dinner by candlelight is perhaps one of the most common, and most enjoyable, ways to spend Valentine's Day. And what better way to set the mood and light the evening than with a pair of classy looking Kissing Candlesticks from Nambé. The candlesticks cuddle up together to give off a sweet glow of love without being gaudy, cheesy, or over-the-top. And after Valentine's Day is over they aren't so themed you can't continue to display and use them the rest of the year. 7" or 9" high, $79-$110.

Lee Hale Bird Feet Candle Holders

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

If you're looking to put some "creepy" on your table then these Lee Hale Bird Feet candle holders could be what's missing. I'm all about the outdoors and generally gravitate towards things with a natural theme, but these decapitated bird feet are not appealing to me at all. They even look a little violent, what with the big claws and all.

But obviously somebody in the world must love them, and differences in taste is what makes everything interesting. So if you think these are beautiful then great for you -- just 60,000 yen for the pair.

Arim Candle Holder and Bud Vases

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

These Arim Candle Holder and Bud Vases are inspired by contemporary influences combined with ancient Turkish forms. Mouth blown out of lead-free crystal, the slim stems and pastel coloring fits well with their name (arim), which in Turkish means "sweetheart." It's too bad they don't make a variety of sizes, as I'd love a grouping all bunched together with white blooms in each, but that's not to say one as part of a summer centerpiece wouldn't be gorgeous also. They are only available in two colors, green and blue, and are actually quite tall at 14". $215 each.

It has a stylishly understated design so it will add to your decor without competing for too much attention.

Priced at $345, The Luxury Candle is also available in scents other than grapefruit, plus the website offers suggestions on what scents go well together so different rooms can blend seamlessly.

Filed under: Decor, Cosmetics and Fragrance

Apotheia Aromatic Candles won the award for the best interior scent of the year in 2006 from the Fragrance Foundation and their packaging won the Best Design award from the American Institute of Graphic Arts. The candles come in eleven different scents, each with its own personality. Bronzed, for example, has orange highlights and the urban-inspired Scene uses juniper, pepper and fig to capture the sweetness of night life in the city. Our top pick, especially with awards season (and awards after-parties) already upon us, is Velvet Rope, a scent meant to stimulate the senses, "a dry vanilla martini spiked with absolute jasmine and a twist of grapefruit." Price: $46.

Champagne Candle and Ice Bucket

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Giving everyone their own bottle of champagne at a New Year's party, or any party, is a cute idea, but not necessarily a classy one if you're aiming for an elegant evening. A stylish substitute is to give everyone his or her own champagne bottle candle, perhaps tucked into a miniature ice bucket. These little bottles are $10 each and stand 7.75" high. Until you notice the small gold wick extending from the top, they look just like real, albeit small, bottles of bubbly. The WSS Champagne Bucket is $60. It stands 4" high and perfect for holding one of these champagne candles, although it could be used for other decorative displays or even for serving snacks at a party.
