| The Spicy Apple candle by Rosy Rings |
“The subliminal way in which a scented candle transmits a mood is much like lighting,” says interior and furniture designer Richard Mishaan. “When you walk through the door, the mood is set on many sensory levels. For a holiday setting, it is all about sparkle and magic. Nothing does it better than a deep, warm, fragrant charge and the flicker of a candle’s light.”
During the holidays, welcoming scents like crisp red apple with freshly ground cinnamon and clove are preferred over the light citrus and floral aromas that dominate during the spring and summer months. Poured with a soy wax blend and filled with real fruit and spices, the limited edition Spicy Apple candle ($199) by Rosy Rings creates a setting that is rustic yet elegant. The botanical fragrance was the inaugural scent of the 15-yearold Denver-based company, which today still makes its collections of candles, reed diffusers, and potpourri by hand.
“As the candle burns down the middle, the botanicals encased in the wax are illuminated so the whole outside glows,” says Jennifer Nemeth, manager of Martin Viette Home & Garden Shop. “And it’s not only gorgeous looking—its fragrance is phenomenal.” Martin Viette Home & Garden Shop, Americana Manhasset, 2060 Northern Blvd., 516- 869-8020
