The Scent Season Gift Guide: Presents Worth Unwrapping Slowly
From November 10 to December 1, everything is 25% off with code SCENTSEASON. Candles, reed diffusers, the Aromax and hand lotion, all in one place, at a price that makes giving generously a little easier. See our gift guide with everything on sale below, organized by the person you have in mind rather than by product type. Read it through, or skip to whoever is on your list.
For the host who deserves more than a bottle of wine
Sweet Surrender
Arrive at a winter dinner with something that will still be filling the house with warmth the next morning. Sweet Surrender opens with ginger, lemon and grapefruit, then settles into gingerbread, maple, brown sugar and vanilla bean. It’s a gourmand with a little spice in it, sweet without being syrupy, and it suits a holiday table almost too well.
Sweet Surrender Candle or Sweet Surrender Reed Diffuser, $69 ($51.75 with SCENTSEASON).
For the one who is always somewhere else
Cedar Mood
Some people collect passport stamps, antique maps and secondhand books with soft corners. Cedar Mood is written for them. Lavender, cypress and rosemary open onto cedarwood, pine needles, leather and moss: a library, a forest, and a long journey home, in roughly that order.
Cedar Mood Reed Diffuser, $69 ($51.75 with SCENTSEASON). Also available as a candle, room spray, and fragrance oil for diffusion.
For anyone who needs a slower morning
Thread Count
Soft linen, a window with the light coming through it, a cup of something warm. Thread Count pairs rosemary and a clean green accord with rose, raspberry and clary sage, and the result is calm in the most literal sense. It is the gift for the friend who is run ragged by December and would never think to buy themselves a pause.
Thread Count Candle or Thread Count Reed Diffuser, $69 ($51.75 with SCENTSEASON).
For the person who likes a little drama
Magnetic
Orris and oud, patchouli flower, olibanum, warm resins and tonka. Magnetic is intimate and slightly animalic, the scent of a room you were not planning to leave. Give it to the person whose taste runs dark and deliberate, who lights a candle at six and keeps the lamps low.
Magnetic Candle or Magnetic Reed Diffuser, $69 ($51.75 with SCENTSEASON).
For the one who lingers after dinner
Haze
Leather and cedar, smoke and amber, with vanilla milk and heliotrope softening the edges. Haze is slow and grounding, the kind of scent that suits a bedroom, a study or a small room with a good chair in it. Think of it for the person who is last to leave the table and the first to put on a record.
Haze Reed Diffuser, $69 ($51.75 with SCENTSEASON). Also available as a candle.
For stocking fillers and last minute thank-yous
Saffron Suede Hand Lotion and Hand Wash
A 500ml hand lotion and hand wash is a quietly generous thing to give: used every day, kept by the sink, noticed by every guest. It is the right size of gift for a colleague, a neighbor or a teacher, and leaves room in the budget for something larger elsewhere.
Saffron Suede Hand Wash, $39 ($29.25 with SCENTSEASON), Saffron Suede Hand Lotion, $49 ($36.75 with SCENTSEASON)
For the person who has everything
The Aromax and 30ml Fragrance Oil
When a candle feels too small a gesture, there is the Aromax. It is a nebulizing diffuser in anodized aluminum, finished in silver, gold, black or red, with a curved, unfussy form that looks as considered on a shelf as it smells in use. Output is adjustable, the operation is whisper quiet, and it covers up to 9,000 cubic feet, which makes it well suited to apartments, homes and small offices. Pair with a couple 30ml fragrance oils for diffusion for the ultimate gift.
Aromax Diffuser, $389 ($291.75 with SCENTSEASON), 30ml Fragrances, $79 ($59.25 with SCENTSEASON)
