Gossip Girl

Gossip Girl scribe von Ziegesar is back doing what she does best: stirring up drama in NYC (albeit this time it’s among four privileged families, not extravagan­t teens). Pair the tea-spilling session with sunny and sensual notes of apricot and orris root.

The Boys

What better to match the fiery rage of Hench—about a woman who is wronged by society’s so-called superheroe­s and decides to reclaim her power—than Diptyque’s heady and dusk-evoking fragrance housed in a startling vessel?

Grey’s Anatomy

Curling up with a romcom that has enough chemistry to rival that of Meredith and McDreamy can only mean one thing: putting on your coziest sweater and surroundin­g yourself with the warm and spicy scent of vanilla, cardamom and amber.

The Talented Mr. Ripley

Intoxicati­ng notes of musk and cedar will create an atmosphere just as mysterious and alluring as Susie Yang’s page-turning debut novel, which is about a restless young woman’s quest for success as she embeds herself in a wealthy political family.

I May Destroy You

Breathe in this relaxing blend of sage and sweet orange while reading Grown, a heartwrenc­hing, angerinduc­ing novel about Enchanted Jones, an aspiring young musician who catches the eye of an infamous older singer.

Eat Pray Love

Embrace yourself and human connection (from afar, of course) with Chicago-based writer Christie Tate’s debut memoir, about her life-changing group-therapy journey, and Toronto candle company Murphy & Jo’s ode to self-love.

Little Fires Everywhere

Escape into this moving and intertwini­ng tale of a daughter digging into her late mother’s unexpected past beside the nostalgic flame of a candle with the familiar and comforting notes of cedar, sweetgrass and juniper berry. 
