Luxury Interiors Fragrant Curls of Smoke Ultra-creative essences are entering the home, too, thanks to higher-quality home fragrances, cand<strong>le</strong>s and diffusers, whose fragrances and names c<strong>le</strong>arly evoke luxury perfumery. Among the latest creations at l’Artisan Parfumeur is Invitation Créo<strong>le</strong>, a sumptuous cand<strong>le</strong> made with Victoria pineapp<strong>le</strong> and white wood. This year at Diptyque you’ll find Feu de Bois, a warm and smoky ode in a silver and midnight-blue bott<strong>le</strong>. At Maître Parfumeur & Gantier, the holiday season gets its own festive scents, ranging from ‘Roasted Chestnuts’ and ‘Enchanting Christmas Tree’. Creativity is truly unbrid<strong>le</strong>d, because even top-of-the-line caterers Hédiard are getting into the act, inviting you to savor the flavor of a fruity black-tea cand<strong>le</strong>. But the absolute must for scenting your home is undoubtedly the Ozmotek de Iunx, an ultra-luxurious diffuser that has refills in a range of six essences, from Vapeur de Sab<strong>le</strong>, with sun-baked grasses and desert plants, to Vapeur Corsée, with hot pepper and tumeric on a bed of sandalwood. Designer Atmospheres Among the designers whose fragrances will pamper your interior, we recommend: Jo Malone, with fragrances like French Lime Blossom (‘Til<strong>le</strong>ul en F<strong>le</strong>urs’) and Jasper Conran, with Vetiver & Cashmere Musk. In collaboration with l’Artisan Parfumeur, Botega Veneta, the Italian luxury <strong>le</strong>ather-goods house, produced Intreccio N°1. A wood-and<strong>le</strong>ather scented cand<strong>le</strong> sheathed in chocolate-hued <strong>le</strong>ather woven in the intricate ‘intreccio’ pattern. At Diptyque, you can also find the home fragrance from designer John Galliano. A chic alliance of <strong>le</strong>ather and wood, without a trace of flowers. Creative Scents Last but not <strong>le</strong>ast, to harmonize your interior to your personal fragrance, the holiday season will see the launches of incense with the woodsy-floral notes of Alien (Thierry Mug<strong>le</strong>r) and a cand<strong>le</strong> with the musky scent of For Her (Narciso Rodriguez). And to bring the ambiance of a grand hotel into your own home, perfumer Alberto Morillas (who has designed such ce<strong>le</strong>brated fragrances as Flower by Kenzo, Sensi by Armani and Cologne by Thierry Mug<strong>le</strong>r) offers his Mizensir cand<strong>le</strong> line. A luxurious col<strong>le</strong>ction of refined fragrances, like Vert Amande (Green Almond) and Gingembre Rose (Pink Ginger). Prestigious Se<strong>le</strong>ction For Women Osmanthe Yunnan (Hermès) Osmanthe Yunnan is a luxuriously fragrant voyage through China. It reveals the white petals of osmanthus, a flower with sweet apricot-like notes. Designed by Jean Claude El<strong>le</strong>na, sold exclusively at Hermès boutiques. <strong>Un</strong>e Rose (Editions de Parfums Frédéric Mal<strong>le</strong>) The arousing trail of an unexpected rose. Woodsy, earth and animal, the heart unveils a rich and tasty truff<strong>le</strong> scent. An ode composed by perfumer Edouard Fléchier for Editions de Parfums Frédéric Mal<strong>le</strong>. Jasmin de Nuit (The Different Company) A rich perfume revealing Egyptian jasmine absolute garbed in a spicy star anise note. The warm and sensual essence evolves towards an almost sunny amber facet. A luminous elixir in a thick glass-and-metal bott<strong>le</strong>. For Men Bois d’Encens (Col<strong>le</strong>ction Armani Privé) A dark, African wood flask topped with a black stone cap. The heart reveals a luxurious arpeggio composed from just five notes. Among them, frankincense resin and vetiver root. Splash Forte (Iunx) A bright red nectar, like a hard liquor fragrance. A liqueur enlivened with spices, black cumin and nutmeg, over a warm and woody base of quinine and red cedar bark.
