Exotic destinations: and lighting their scents in your own home

While you may decide to settle for a penny tea light to add a little ambiance - and by all means, any amount of fire will do - there is always the option to go a little overboard and buy that boutique candle. Glade doesn't want you to believe that $45 is a necessary expense for a good smell, but, we think these candles might be something out of this world. Or, from across the world...



Vie Luxe has a line of location-inspired scents for both candles and bath crystals, including: Tuileries, Buenos Aires, Capri, Cote D'Azur, Maldives, Palm Beach, St. Moritz, Istanbul, St. Barths. For sale in select retailers, or online. Try candleluxury.com or thefind.com.

According to Vogue, they are a favorite of designer Tory Burch, who loves:

Buenos Aires - blends wild jasmine flowers, exotic ceibo petals, lush ombu leaves and white pepper & Istanbul - blends exotic Turkish tea, amber, blue iris and black orchid.

Mmmmmmm...

We are ready for our bath.
