1. Fornasetti Incense

The design house of Fornasetti lends its whimsical touch to this wooden box filled with incense (the incense is created by the famous Japanese manufacturer Nippon Kodo). Available in two scents: Otto, a melange of Meditteranean herbs and Flora di Fornesetti, a lush floral bouquet. 

2. L'Artisan Amber Balls

A carved terracotta ball is filled with the warm fragrance of amber. The sensual aroma permeates the air for long periods, intensified by heat and humidity.

3. Odette Toilette Pot Pourri Blend #1

Inspired by the potpourri recipes of the Bloomsbury group (which included the likes of Virginia Woolf), Odette Toilette's potpourri is heady and distinctive: brimming with macerated rose petals, lemon verbena, mint, coriander, bay, lemon peel, benzoin, and tonka.

4. Frederic Malle Rubber Incense  

A high-tech version of the traditional scented sachet, Malle's rubber incense is an ingenious way to scent small spaces, like closets, dressing rooms, cars, or drawers. The rubber mat releases a warm, sensual fragrance, inspired by the scent of Indian temples.

5. Santa Maria Novella Perfumed Pomegranate

This terracotta pomegranate is fired partially in a kiln, then immersed in pomegranate oil. Once the oil has infused the terracotta with its scent, it is fired the rest of the way. Place this object d'art on a dish and enjoy the scent for up to 12 months.
