On the scent in Paris

I love the Mad et Len “potpourris,” which are made out of either lava rock or amber resin. You drop a few beads of the scented oil into the rocks, which infuse the room without being overwhelming (my favorite: Spirituelle, with notes of mint and basil). It's all handmade in the Alps, in small batches, and arrives in a blackened iron sculpture (also) handmade by their blacksmiths.

I gift them to all my interior design clients at the end of a project. Not only do they smell amazing, they look so much nicer than a candle. Every time I'm in Paris, I buy a bunch of them, along with a cheap suitcase, to bring home with me, tax-free. –Kaitlin McQuaide
