If you happen to live in a world where money is meaningless, may we suggest you take a gander at this Missoni Home Torta candle ($520)? It's a pretty four-wick candle with a zigzag pattern and a Missoni plaque stuck to the side, so everyone will know it's designer. Also, it costs more than some peoples' rent. This is the sort of thing that makes me wonder if, somewhere, there are candle Read more
The good people at Bondtoo in NYC have released The Times of New York Candle ($65). Just as the name implies, the candle smells like — you guessed it — a freshly printed copy of the iconic paper. Late designer Tobias Wong had originally conceptualized the scent, but friends recently paid homage to him with a limited release of these candles. I can't decide. I love the familiar scent of the Read more
Baxter of California and original Parisian cool-girl boutique Colette have teamed up to give California its very own honorary candle: Cruel Summer ($30). While it's fittingly scented with a green floral accord "inspired by the scent and ambience of California," this definitely sounds a little bit more like So Cal to this Northern California girl. But still, it got me thinking about what other Read more
If you've read any of my past candle reviews, you probably know that as much as I'm a candle fanatic, I'm also quite picky about what I light up in my home. The latest candle to come under my scrutiny is Tocca's Colette Candle ($38). I've had good experiences with the luxury brand's beauty products in the past, but had never tried Tocca home fragrances. Just like the Tocca Bianca, which I Read more

Watch out, Yankee Candle. Thirteen-year-old Hart Main is hot on your trail. The teenage entrepreneur has created a line of candles scented with "masculine" aromas like buttered popcorn, grass, garage, sawdust, and bacon. Each hand-poured Mancans candle is packaged in an empty soup can (Hart reuses them after donating food to a soup kitchen) and shipped from his central Ohio home. And if that Read more
