GAZEBO AMBIENCE
Set a wooded forest as a centerpiece on your dining room table, an accent accessory in the living room or a focal point in your spa bathroom with Agraria’s 40th Anniversary Balsam Gazebo Candle. Each gazebo is hand-built with alder wood and the company’s trademark woven cane. The 3-wick candle inside releases therapeutic and healing balsam with 180 hours of burn time. When you look at it that way, the pricetag of $325 works out to less than $2 per hour. Online exclusive; AgrariaHome.com.

FRAGANCED QUOTES
The use and enjoyment of scent on ourselves and in our homes dates back millennia. It adds quality to our lives. Here are some personal takes on the matter from a few famous folks who know what they’re talking about.

Diane Ackerman
“Because we can’t escape our ancient hunger to live close to nature, we encircle the house with lawns and gardens, install picture windows, adopt pets, grow Boston ferns and make sure to scent everything that touches our lives.”

 

 

Carolina Herrera
“I always remember my childhood house with happy memories. There was a beautiful garden, and outside my bedroom window was a jasmine vine that would open in the evenings, giving off a divine scent.”

 

 

Mark Ronson
“My late grandmother always wore Tuberose perfume. Then I dated a girl who wore it too and I could only think of my deceased grandmother. Sometimes a signature scent can be good and sometimes it can be bad.”
