In addition to her exquisite jewelry, Liseanne Frankfurt’s beeswax candles are exceptional. I stopped burning anything other than beeswax candles because burning them produces negative ions that act as an air purifier. There are a handful of different fragrances – Palmarosa Geranium, Bergamot, Frankincense, and Lavender Geranium, among others. The aromas are wonderful when layered together, and the candles last forever. What’s more, they are presented in a beautiful burlap bag. $42 each at LFrank, 1116 Abbot Kinney Boulevard, Venice 310.398.2547. 

                                         

For an instant boost, I turn to nah-la’s Alchemy Healing Aromatherapy Mist for body, room and bed linens. It’s a fresh and mysterious blend of rose, orange, ginger, and more, and every time I use it, people say, “you smell so good”. $28 at Strange Invisible Perfumes, 1138 Abbot Kinney Boulevard, Venice 310.314.1508.

                                   

For the closets and drawers, hang or place these exotic beeswax tablets by Officina Profumo-di Santa Maria Novella. They are molded and decorated by hand in Florence, Italy by a Pharmacy – located in a monastery – founded in 1381. They give off the strong,sweet fragrance of flowers and essential oils. 

$30 per box at Turpan, 225 26^th Street,
