Here is a product that might actually be a first for us, but we felt compelled to buck that trend by showcasing these Seletti chandeliers. We are pretty much exclusively accustomed to candles of the fragrant variety that come in their own glass containers, but these Burlesque chandeliers require a more traditional taper candle. The actual chandeliers themselves are really interesting pieces of art crafted out of polyresin with sculptures at their base. Check these out further at Seletti.

Take a further look after the jump.

While Stussy has always been producing items outside the world of fashion, that part of the line was always pretty small. Stussy Japan has been offering a little more under the Stussy Livin umbrella, yet for Fall/Winter 2011 they seem to be making the first big push into lifestyle and homeware with the Stussy Livin General Store Collection.

From underwear, socks, plates, candles, glasses, to laptop and iPhone sleeves, leather pouches, canvas tote bags and more, the collection is a serious and strong offering of Stussy home goods. Branding is very subtle, yet the collection fits perfectly into the Stussy lifestyle in terms items and design. This might be one of the most exciting new offerings from Stussy, that we have seen in years.

Take a look at the full collection after the jump.

Black Rainbow from Paris has teamed up with DROM Fragrance to produce their first scented candle, entitled “Senteur n°00″. Having worked with Gucci, Pucci, Dior and other high fashion houses before, DROM seemed like the perfect partner for Black Rainbow.

“Taking the concept of the raw and industrial feel of the store, the Parisian creative workshop “DROM Fragrance” wanted to underline that varnish, the plaster, the fresh wood, the debris and the dust of the shop. As if the smell of a work site would ever become synonymous with a noble impression, they enhanced it with notes of wood and a fruity smell. Using to that effect a balanced blend of Cedar wood, notes of leather, tonka beans, musk and a smoky effect.

We might as well tell you right away, the 00 candle BLACK RAINBOW is a delicate and subtle one. This is not a heavy and nor an omnipresent signature. The smell threads between spaces and recalls the universe in which the shop and its team revolve around. A signature, that of the 68 rue des Archives.”

The candle is exclusively available from Black Rainbow in Paris.

Marais, Paris

Baxter of California, the Los Angeles based men’s grooming brand, has teamed up with colette on the ‘Cruel Summer’ candle.

“The new scented-soy-wax-candle aptly named “Cruel Summer” was inspired by the scent and ambience of California. Cruel Summer opens with a very powerful green, leafy top note accented with a citrus lemon undertone. The body of this complex blend is a floral, green bouquet starring brilliant hyacinth, tempered with notes of cyclamen, and accented with a fresh marine accord. These rest on an alluring white musk base, embellished with cedar wood.

“We Love California” candles are designed by Marc Atlan, an art director with packaging credits including Comme des Garçons, Helmut Lang and Yves Saint Laurent. Atlan, whose résumé previously includes projects for Baxter of California, describes his design as a breezy homage to the pop music of the 80’s.”

‘Cruel Summer’ will be available at the rue Saint Honoré colette Paris boutique, and also in Los Angeles at Baxter’s barbershop [Baxter Finley]. Additionally the candles will be available online and at select retail partners.

Take a further look at the beautiful new candle after the jump.

These days the choice of high end scented candles has become very big. From up and coming to more established brands, everybody offers something in the category now. AtelierMaisonMallon from Berlin has taken a slightly different approach, which we find quite appealing. They went out and searched for 100 crystal glasses, in order to turn them into candles. The end result are two scents, produced with a traditional French fragrance house, housed in beautiful crystal glasses, with each one being different from the next. The candles are now in stock at Soto Berlin.

More images of the candles can be found here.

New York’s Reed Space decided to get together with fragrance makers Joya and men’s cosmectics brand Baxter Of California to develop a custom scent. The outcome is LAPSANG NOIR.

“LAPSANG NOIR is a smoky, steaming black Lapsang Souchong Tea with inflections of exotic Indonesian herbal tones over a warm and radiant white floral mix of Tuberose, Pikaki, Ylang Ylang and Jacaranda blossoms.
We were burning the Baxter “Noir” Candle Series at the Staple Design HQ as well as Reed Space on a regular basis. It’s a unanimous favorite for everyone. This inspired us to create a custom scent that was uniquely ours, but still, shared the spirit of Baxter of California and Joya. The result is something that took 15 months to create and we are supremely proud of this collaboration: LAPSANG NOIR.

The Lapsang Noir candle will be available in two sizes: HALF KILO ($84) and FULL KILO ($151). The large
black wax candles have impressive burn times of 100 hours and 200 hours respectively. You can find the candles at Reed Space in NYC and at Baxter Finley (Baxter’s Barber Shop) in Los Angeles. Additionally the candles will be available online at select retail partners.”

Not only do these smell great, but the candles packaging is also simple and beautiful, inspired by the packaging of tea.

Take a more detailed look at the various sizes candles after the jump.

“QT Wax” is the theme of this collaboration between Japanese labels Real Mad Hectic and Skulss. Our Japanese isn’t the greatest, but we gather the candles are made of 100% pure oil – which doubles as hand cream – and the artwork was done by Kashi Da Handsome, a Freestyle MC, who is also apparently a fairly talented cartoonist. Releasing this week at real Mad Hectic.

Commonwealth created four different Beeswax Candles. “They burn with the spectrum of the sun emitting a brighter, longer burning flame. It has also been shown that while burning beeswax candles, naturally emitting negative ions clean the air and invigorate the body.

A fragrance you can burn year round without having to worry about “the boys in blue.” Other scents include: Nag Champion, Green Thumb, and Peoples Choice.” Commonwealth Beeswax Candles are now available instore and online.
