Fantastic, Marlen, thank you. I'll keep my eyes (and wallet) open for this, maybe eBay? I love amber home fragrances. My favorite incense so far is Hinoki by Nippon Kodo, which is essentially Gucci Rush in stick form.
Mark - and don't forget the candles! High-end but amazing! It wouldn't surprise me if they were actaully manufactured by Diptyque!
yes, I explored the French site - how does one choose? Which of the candles have you tried?
Mark - u need to email me buddy, I'll be living in Pitt from this summer! Anyhow...I've sniffed them all and a friend of mine had the Nepal one and he just sat it on a table, never had to burn it, and it scented the entire room.
;-) Haven't tried Mariage Freres, but I adore the Fauchon (French house for teas and other delicacies) incenses, especially The, Epices and the divine Baies Rouges: the only time I ever smelled incense (or perfume, for that matter) with the true scent of raspberries in the sun!
These sound great. If it weren't for the fact that Roquefort, my west highland terrier, has appointed himself the fireman of the house. He goes nuts trying to find and put out the fire whenever we light a taper of incense. Well, maybe when they go to get their hair done ....
dinazad - just wait - some Fauchon reviews are coming soon!
Cait - that is hilarious! What does he do at BBQ's?
