I’ve been much into interior design / items for the home lately, and I’ve been absolutely smitten with the L’Artisan Parfumeur luxury brand, more specifically, their candles. The brand has been creating luxury candles, home fragrances, and eaux de toilettes since 1976, their luxury brands extending to production of Bottega Veneta candles. I truly have to say that I’ve never had such incredibly euphoric-smelling candles in my life, with rich tones and scents all packaged in a gorgeous display, L’Artisan Parfumeur are a worthy splurge and a half. In four years the brand has managed to grow from 5 boutiques to 30 in 2008, and 350 worldwide.

Disconnect? Not quite, urbanebloc is about lifestyle too – and mine has taken me to great appreciation for scented candles.

Worth mentioning also that I went to IDS 09 this past weekend, will give you coverage on buying overpriced hotdogs and staring at gorgeous bathtubes. Kidding – it’ll be a doozy.
