Diptyque Sapin Candle as seen in Amarena Magazine...

The World Of Wendell Exploring The Art Of Living - In All Its Expressions

From the legendary house of Diptyque, this limited-edition Sapin candle arrives dressed for the season in a hand-applied, precious finish that makes it as collectible as it is sensory. Within its luminous vessel, the iconic Sapin (Pine Tree) fragrance unfurls—a warm, resinous, and enveloping aroma that evokes the quiet elegance of a freshly cut evergreen. It's the quintessential winter scent: comforting yet crisp, refined yet deeply nostalgic. In Diptyque's annual holiday tale, this candle becomes a small object d'art. Its white-and-gold label, adorned with the Maison's signature dancing letters intertwined with a stylized pine tree, captures all the poetry and magic of the season. Even the outer packaging becomes part of the experience, animated with playful illustrations by Vincent Puente, making it a perfectly giftable treasure for design lovers, fragrance aficionados, and anyone who cherishes the ritual of a beautifully lit winter evening.

Woo(e)d by ALTAIA - Modern Wood, Quietly Rendered

A Fragrance Built On Intimacy

Woo(e)d by ALTAIA is a study in subtlety. Rather than commanding attention, the fragrance unfolds slowly, revealing a warm, composed exploration of wood worn close to the skin. It feels intimate, thoughtful, and deliberately understated.

Sandalwood and cedar form the heart of the scent, softened by gentle resinous and lightly spiced nuances. The composition remains airy and balanced, allowing the fragrance to evolve naturally on the skin. It is less about projection and more about presence.

ALTAIA approaches fragrance with an artisanal sensibility, favoring emotional resonance and material integrity over excess. With Woo(e)d, the brand delivers a quietly luxurious scent that feels modern, personal, and enduring.

New Year, new routine: reboot your beauty ritual with our top picks for winter ’26

A New Year is upon us again. The impulse to reflect on the previous year’s events, our habits, and choices is inevitable. The expectation to make perceivable changes can be intense, but when it comes to our beauty routine, think of change as an upgrade. We can’t stop time, but we can stop using products that no longer work for us, and we can start doing things, however small, that make us feel and look better. You can spend a lot, or can spend barely anything to notice a difference.

Whether that change is finally investing in quality products, or just experimenting with bolder colors, it can transform your look, your attitude, and how you interact with the world. We’ve chosen a few favourite products to recharge your beauty routine and get 2026 off to a glowing start.

WOO(E)D by ALTAIA

The embodiment of a sultry winter fragrance that envelopes the wearer in a crackling fire of warmth. To woo is to captivate, to charm, to draw someone closer with an irresistible allure. It’s about creating a connection, and offering a glimpse of your soul that makes the other person linger just a little longer. We woo because it’s in our nature to desire closeness, to spark intrigue, to awaken passion.

Find the best holiday gifts for moms—from beauty and wellness picks to personalized accessories and practical luxuries. Thoughtful ideas she’ll truly appreciate this season.

Finding the perfect gift for a mom—whether it’s your mom, your partner, or yourself—isn’t always easy. Moms are notorious for saying they don’t want anything (they do) or having something big in mind but feeling guilty asking for it. Add in the stress of holiday shopping for everyone else, and it’s no wonder choosing the right gift can feel overwhelming. So if you’re not sure what to give—or what to put on your own wish list—you’re in the right place. These are the best holiday gifts for moms this season: thoughtful, stylish, and guaranteed to be appreciated.

Child Candle

When she finally gets a quiet moment, this candle sets the mood for total relaxation. The signature Child fragrance is a dreamy blend of jasmine, tuberose, orange blossom, and magnolia. Made with 100% coconut–soy wax and free from phthalates, parabens, SLS, and silicone, it’s clean, elevated, and effortlessly luxurious. One of my new faves, it's a really unique scent that doesn't really smell like everything else out there.

Ultimate Guide To Queer Gift Giving

Some gifts scream practical, others whisper luxury, and a few flat-out blur the lines. From cocoa that feels ceremonial to a cologne that linger like a suggestive smirk, this year’s ultimate gift picks prove that thoughtful (and occasionally naughty) presents don’t have to be prosaic. Welcome to your holiday cheat sheet for festive tangibles that get noticed, remembered, and maybe even result in a peck of gratitude planted under the mistletoe. Consensually, of course.

Woo(e)d

British GQ recently crowned Woo(e)d by ALTAIA the “Best Date Night Fragrance,” and honestly, they nailed it. Confident without being cocky – smoky gaïac and Atlas cedarwood grounds the room while supple leather and spicy cardamom do all the flirting – it’s a scent that lingers like good conversation and soft candlelight. Gift it to the one who always turns heads – or keep it for yourself and let them come to (and then on) you.

ALTAIA: When Love Becomes a Fragrance And a Fragrance Becomes a Story

There are fragrance houses that bottle beauty and then there are those that bottle destiny.

ALTAIA belongs irrevocably to the second category.

Marina Sersale and Sebastián Alvarez Murena, names already beloved in perfumery thanks to their iconic Eau d’Italie line, did not set out to create another collection. ALTAIA was not a business decision nor a branding exercise. It began as something far stranger, far more cinematic: the discovery of a shared family history stretching across oceans and centuries, a real-life prologue written long before they ever met.

And it is this improbable thread of fate, tender, improbable, serendipitous, that now forms the backbone of their most personal work. ALTAIA, A Long Time Ago In Argentina, is their olfactory archive of connection: each fragrance a memory refracted through modernity, each note a syllable in the private language of two people whose story, quite literally, began before their birth.

This season, that story unfolds once more but this time in smoke, wood and seduction.

WOO(E)D: The New Grammar of Desire

Their newest launch, WOO(E)D, is not a fragrance built to please, but it is built to pull. A smoky, sensual composition, its architecture is deceptively simple: rich woods smoldering beneath a sudden flash of bergamot; cardamom threading itself through the composition like a whispered invitation, a sweetness that refuses to let go.

In a market saturated with “sexy” scents, WOO(E)D smolders.
It lingers like a hand at the small of the back.
It woos.

“To woo is to captivate,” Marina says, “to offer a glimpse of your soul that makes someone linger just a little longer.”

But the wooing here is also metaphorical. It is the magnetic pull between Marina and Sebastián, distilled and modernized; a seduction that is not performance but recognition. When asked how they managed to capture this invisible chemistry within perfume, Sebastián pauses before offering a characteristically poetic response: “Not every phenomenon can be directly described in words. You cannot describe ‘red’, but you can say it is the color of an apple. With Woo(e)d, you cannot describe the seduction, but you can smell it. And indeed, WOO(E)D smells like the moment two souls realize they are mirrors.

A Love Story Unearthed, Then Reimagined

To understand ALTAIA’s emotional charge, one must first understand the shock of discovery: two people, tracing their family histories, suddenly stumbling upon a documented connection more than a century old in Argentina. A connection that predated them, yet feels as if it anticipated them.

I asked them how such a revelation shaped not only their relationship but the emotional language through which they compose fragrance. “The discovery brought disbelief at first,” they recall. “We thought we were unconsciously ‘finding’ things. Yet, everything was there, recorded, clear, a part of history. To translate this into a fragrance was another thing entirely. For that, we relied on the delicate, sensitive hand of Daphné Bugey, who authored the first three ALTAIA creations.” That triad, Don’t Cry For Me, By Any Other Name, Yu Son, remains the genetic code of the brand. Memory, love, coincidence, destiny: all rendered in exquisitely modern olfactory form.

Between Yesterday and Tomorrow

ALTAIA’s universe is suspended in a rare alchemy: not nostalgic, not futurist, but something in between, like standing on the threshold between what was and what might be.

So I asked them: when you create, do you follow nostalgia or let the future guide the hand? “Present and future,” they answer without hesitation. “The inspiration came from the past, but the execution is always contemporary. We don’t believe in ‘old’ in perfumery. We believe in today at its very best, with an eye on tomorrow.”

This, perhaps, is why the collection feels so quietly groundbreaking: it refuses the sentimentality of heritage or the sterility of futurism. It is deeply human, rooted in the now.

The Modern Poetry of Love

There is an elegance to their work that feels at once classic and vividly alive—never ornate, never overwrought. A clarity, a restraint, a pulse beneath the surface. When I ask how one translates something as unruly as love into perfume, Sebastián smiles with the resignation of someone answering an eternal question: “Smell is the most atavistic of our senses. We stood up, we privileged sight, but smell remained the place we come from. It evokes joy, fear, comfort, anguish, and of course the feeling that fuels it all: love.”

In ALTAIA, love is not an abstraction. It is a presence.
It breathes.
It remembers.
It returns.

The Seduction of a Story Still Being Written

There is a romantic cliché that when lovers find a shared ancestry, they open a bottle of wine to celebrate. Marina and Sebastián could have done this, uncorked a Malbec, and toasted the mystery of it all. Instead, they created an award-winning fragrance collection. This alone tells you everything.

ALTAIA is not merely a brand; it is the continuation of a story that began long before its protagonists were born. And WOO(E)D, smoky and tender and irresistibly alive, is its newest chapter, a fragrance that does not just seduce, but remembers.

As Marina says, “We woo because it is in our nature to desire closeness.”

Some love stories are written on paper. Theirs is written in scent.

When highlighting two things people are downright obsessed with about right now, Harry Zelenko’s orchids and Child Perfume, we are really talking about the loveliness of flowers.

Child Perfume: Captivating, Euphoric, and Indescribably Lovely

Child Perfume has also garnered a legion of obsessed devotees who love it in both perfume and candle form for its distinctive blend of heady, unforgettable flowers. Presented in chic gift packaging, child is a cult classic scent and Hollywood favorite. All the fragrance’s flowers – magnolia, tuberose, orange blossom, and jasmine – are freshly picked from the Hollywood Hills. with subtle hints of patchouli and vanilla, this fragrance invites intimacy. Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman, Jennie Garth are all fans, and Garth started the Child craze when she said “Child drives men wild.” Child perfume is natural and free of chemical preservatives, yay. The oil roll on is practical and long lasting and smells divine.

The Child body lotion is luscious and imparts a silky sheen, and the spray Extrait de Parfum is a limited edition of the cherished Child fragrance in a stronger formulation that lasts. The Child Candle is all-natural, made of soy and coconut wax with a pure white cotton wick that has an approximate 40 hour burn time, which is perfect for long winter nights at home.

Child offers a Gift Set that is essential for the Child lover. This fragrance’s easy, beachy vibe and bouquet of luscious flowers captures California’s natural beauty and timeless glamour. Tech bros are even buying the Child candle for their places, since this scent is irresistibly appealing.

Child Perfume is an invitation to feel playful, sexy, and joyful.

Tuberose in Bloom

Tuberose is a white flower known for its creamy, almost bubblegummy undertones. Sensual, heady, and often intoxicating, it’s the hero note for many iconic fragrances. The below fragrance showcases tuberose in all its narcotic glory.

Tuberose in Blue Eau de Parfum

House: ALTAIA

Notes: Neroli, Tuberose, Freesia

Inspired by balmy Rio de Janeiro, this is a refreshing whirlwind of scent that smells like the outdoors. This is not your candied tuberose, but rather a woody, fresh, and delicate take on white petals. There is also a sense of refinement; this would be well worn on an upscale occasion, with a little black dress. It smells elegant and feminine, with an undeniable air of intrigue.

Winter’s Biggest Fragrance Trends Offer a Scent for Every Mood

Winter is about getting cozy on the sofa with a fluffy blanket, but it can also mean dressing up in your sparkliest outfit and clinking champagne glasses at midnight. It’s ice, snow, and bracing winds one moment, then roaring fireplaces the next. The season’s duality is reflected in this winter’s biggest fragrance trends. “We enter a season that craves shelter and shock in equal measure,” says Douglas Little, Heretic Parfum founder.

There are sharp, icy scents that smell like a brisk walk in the snow, whether that’s in the mountains of Hokkaido or a forest in the Adirondacks. There are deeply sensual fragrances that use musk, leather, and white florals to evoke the scents and sensations of hiding under the sheets with someone you love. The prevalence of pink pepper gives many winter perfume launches the brightness and effervescence of a bottle of bubbly on New Year’s Eve.

Overall, “winter fragrances are leaning warmer and more inviting, but still with a modern, fresh vibe,” says LaRen Johnson, fragrance expert at ScentMatch. “They wrap you up like a soft blanket but still carry a cool, sophisticated edge, perfect for a season that mixes comfort with celebration.” Keep reading to find the perfect scent, no matter your mood or preference for getting through the cold winter months.

Fragrance Is Getting Friskier

Many of winter’s new fragrances belong on a different type of naughty list. While perfume has long been associated with sex and sensuality, this season many brands are being more overtly erotic, whether through notes, narratives, new technologies, or a combination of all three.

Perfumers have plenty of ways to create sexy and sensual fragrances. “Florals like rose, tuberose, or jasmine can be deeply seductive and narcotic; spices like pepper, clove, or cardamom can convey intriguing heat,” says Varghese. “Ambery resin, rum, tobacco, and vanilla give off a warmth, sensuality, depth and allure. Musk is also known for its sensual, primal, and quietly sexy character, while leather—which is very trendy right now—can be used to induce a raw, animalic, and provocative scent.”

The latest titillating scents check off all of the above: ALTAIA Woo(e)d Eau de Parfum, combines cardamom and leather to draw people in for a whiff.

The Ultimate Fragrance Shopping Guide: Autumn / Winter Edition

Shopping for fragrance is overwhelming – there are so many retailers, both online and in-store. Designer scents are easier to come by in person than niche, which can feel elusive and impossible to find. Additionally, when searching for a scent, it’s not only about the product you receive, but the buying experience as well. Smooth selection, fast shipping, and quality packaging make for a positive shopping encounter – and I’ve experienced all of these things and more with the following nine fragrance destinations. They are separated into categories so you can prioritize what’s important to you. Happy sniffing!

Best for Brand Discovery

Beautyhabit

With almost 30 years in business, Beautyhabit originally started in a living room in San Francisco. Dedicated to clean beauty, the site is a collection of treasures in all beauty categories. One look at the fragrance section, though, and you’ll immediately discover something new, most likely international (they are the official distributors of Eau d’Italie and ALTAIA). Explore the Gift Guide, the Outlet, or Staff Picks, and get lost in their scented world.

My pick: ALTAIA Woo(e)d Eau de Parfum, a captivating blend of Gaiac wood, leather, and spices that will certainly woo anyone in your wake. Perfectly unisex, this fragrance marries woody elegance with the intrigue of cardamom.

Your mother is one of the most important people on your shopping list. She will probably love anything you get her because it’s from you. However, you can make her feel extra special this year by getting her a next-level gift. This doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune. Some of the most impactful gifts don’t even cost much money.

A Truly Unique and Special Candle

Mom probably buys herself lots of candles at HomeGoods, Hobby Lobby, and Bath & Body Works. Treat her to a luxurious scented candle to make her feel special. My favorite? Child. This fragrance has a massive celebrity following, and all the Los Angeles “it girls” have been wearing it for decades. The Child Perfume Candle is made in small batches and barely sold anywhere, but has one of the most intoxicating and invigorating scents with notes of jasmine, tuberose, orange blossom, and magnolia.

The Essence Of Timeless Desire – Seduction, Bottled In The Sensual New Fragrance Woo(e)d From Altaia

Embrace The Fragrance Of Timeless Desire, Sensual, Seductive New Scent From Italy: Wooed By Altaia

irresistibly intriguing isn’t it? The idea of being captivated, charmed, drawn in closer. It sets the senses on fire.  Who better to understand how to capture this sizzling emotion in scent than one of Italy’s most acclaimed fragrance houses, ALTAIA? Introducing WOO(E)D, the sensual and sophisticated new eau de parfum appealing to men and the partners who love them (find this enticing scent on the go-to-resource for niche fragrances, Beautyhabit.com.)

WOO(E)D poses the question: In a relationship or just casually dating, do we still want to be “wooed”? Pondering the thought, Italian Fragrance House, ALTAIA, came up with a plan: Why not share the art of seduction in a bottle? And so WOO(E)D evolved, the fragrance that speaks to timeless desire, the new launch from this polished Italian fragrance house. ALTAIA  is named for A LONG TIME AGO IN ARGENTINA where the founders’ love story began more than 150 years ago. WOO(E)D is a fragrance, of course, but an invitation as well, to embrace seduction, be enticed with the tease of leather and spice leading us to notes of rare, exotic woods. WOO(E)D speaks to the way we crave closeness, seek that spark of intrigue and hope for passion to be awakened.

WOO(E)D by ALTAIA is an enchanting composition surrounding us with the warmth of Atlas cedarwood and the smoky elegance of Palo Santo,  a rich, grounding base. Layers of supple Italian leather and the spicy sweetness of cardamom add an intriguing edge,  hooking you, creating anticipation for these alluring notes that you can’t help waiting for – like the chorus of a favorite pop song.  Resinous Rock Rose brings an amber-like depth to the smokey, sensual scent, brightened with the citrus spark of Bergamot. WOO(E)D leaves a trail of longing and desire,  the Eau de Parfum is $255 for 100ML, Travel size 10 ML. is available for $72. Though the scent may take from age-old love stories, WOO(E)D is presented as an elegant, modernist vision, a sophisticated bottle with the golden ALTAIA insignia. The fragrance collection speaks to the powerful allure of the brand’s roots in the passion of Argentina presented with Italian-style with a sleek, contemporary design aesthetic.

Ask the founders why they created this invitation to embrace all that love implies, they’ll say it’s because “we woo because it is in our nature to desire closeness, to spark intrigue, to awaken passion.”  Marina Sersale and Sebastian Alvarez Murena, the founders of ALTAIA and the creators of WOO(E)D Eau de Parfum add the thought that being wooed is “about offering a glimpse of your soul that makes the other person linger just a little longer.”

ALTAIA is authentically connected to the passion of Argentina. The collection came about originally when the fragrance founders serendipitously discovered their familial connection long ago in Argentina. Rather than simply enjoying a bottle of Malbec and toasting their discovery, they chose to celebrate their connection by creating a fragrance collection around their own love story, a romance that has been more than a century in the making. The artisanally-crafted ALTAIA fragrances, WOO(E)D being the latest, are a celebration of Marina and Sebastián’s love for the art of perfumery and the power of storytelling through scent.

Their story began when their families were intertwined back in the wild lands of 19th-century South America so it’s only natural that each Eau de Parfum  evocatively associates a strand of their interlaced past and present.  Each fragrance from ALTAIA is lovingly created, evoking nostalgia as it promises something new, encouraging you to discover the harmony of each scent  in a personal way, ultimately allowing the fragrances to speak for themselves.  Find WOO(E)D and other fragrances in the luxe, elegant and elevated ALTAIA fragrance collection at Beautyhabit.com.

Eau d'Italie Morn To Dusk Eau de Parfum as seen on beautynewsnycofficial.com...

and available online at Beautyhabit

Featherlight Gourmands

If you’ve written off gourmands because they’re too sweet, too dense, too overwhelming – try what I like to call a featherlight gourmand, something that still provides that hit of addictive sweetness, but in an airy way, like a fluffy angel food cake.

Eau d’Italie Morn to Dusk Eau de Parfum

On my hunt for the perfect lactonic perfume, I came across Eau d’Italie’s Morn to Dusk, one of the coziest scents I’ve had the pleasure of smelling. Notes listed are bergamot, lily of the valley, bourbon vanilla, cedarwood, and musk, but in the opening I get a very pronounced milky note, which sets a tone of coziness for the rest of the wear. This is a little gem I like to recommend to people who are in search of their perfect vanilla, but find that everything is either too sugary, too woody, too smoky, or too one-note. This one is gorgeous and elevated, but sweet in its simplicity. I also love the history of this brand: founders Marina Sersale and Sebastián Alvarez Murena, owners of the famous Le Sirenuse hotel on the Amalfi Coast, created Eau d’Italie as the hotel’s signature scent, which then became an entire brand of its own.

Summer scents for men: Expert picks to keep you cool and confident

Ligne St. Barth Homme Vetiver Eau de Parfum

This one’s ideally suited to the occasions of summer — think poolside cocktails, galas under the stars, or even a “meet the parents” agenda for younger couples seeking to impress the folks.

The scent is green, fresh and light, but there is a sensuality to this scent that makes this fragrance a timeless classic. It invokes the casual summer timeline of the Caribbean, but it goes perfectly with summer evening wear as well. This fragrance offers an array of classic summer scents, including bitter orange, lime and mandarin, with deeper, spicier notes of ginger and coriander. Haitian vetiver closes as the ultimate bottom note to give this summer special an earthier appeal.

A Love Song to Positano

Salt grains, orange flower, and citron make this a scent that makes you long for Italy.

Hello, Gorgeous!

Life can be tough sometimes. During a particularly low point in my life some years back I latched onto the name/location Positano and said it repeatedly to myself as a mantra when I needed a lift. Well, thankfully that part of my life is in the rear-view mirror *knocks wood surreptitiously*, but the lure and allure of Positano never seems to have left. Which is why I’m particularly intrigued with this new scent Acqua di Positano.

Acqua di Positano by Eau d’Italie

It’s not easy to describe a summery scent that provides a whisper of salty fresh outdoor cafes on the on the Amalfi Coast, but I’ll try.

To celebrate 20 years of Eau d’Italie, the brand founders created a capsule collection. In their words, Acqua di Positano is “A perfect summery blend of Salt Grains and Orange Flower Absolute, with sparkling top notes of Citron and Petitgrain. Absolutely irresistible, just like Positano.”

Here’s what it smells like to me:

Vacation.

Flirtation.

Celebration.

Subtle hints of scent and lovely glasses of wine or lemonade while people watching.

Positano. Or at least what I’m sure Positano must smell like.

With notes of Citron, Petitgrain, Grains of Salt, Orange Flower Absolute, Hedione and Driftwood, this is a light, breezy scent for when you want to smell clean, fresh, and ready for adventure.

Fruity Florals Lead 2025 Perfume Trends, Plus Top New Scents To Shop

Classic perfumes will always stand the test of time, but if you’re looking for a trending option this summer, you can’t go wrong with a fruity floral. That’s especially the case for anything strawberry, which is dominating the category. But that doesn’t just mean dessert-esque fragrances—the note can go sophisticated and subtle. It’s part of the larger gourmand trend that has been leading the fragrance world and taking unexpected turns.

ALTAIA Woo(e)d Eau de Parfum

The clever name says it all: This woody scent is meant for wooing. Warm and intriguing yet grounding, it pulls people, sparking an attraction. Atlas cedarwood, Gaiac wood, leather, cardamom and cistus make for a spicy sweetness.

Heirloom Boots, Bikes & Bourbon: The Ultimate Father's Day Gift Guide for 2025

Father’s Day isn’t just about a card, some new socks, and a backyard barbecue; it’s a chance to honor the men who show up every day, who lead with grit, grace, and a good sense of humor. Whether he’s building something in the garage, exploring backroads on two wheels, or winding down with a glass of something strong, your dad deserves a gift that reflects his character. This year, we’ve rounded up a selection of standout gifts for every type of father figure, each chosen for its craftsmanship, utility, and undeniable style. None of these items are paid promotions or affiliate links, but products our team uses and has put to the test. Check out our selection of hand-built heirlooms, rugged essentials, and gear that’s built to last, just like your father, or the father figure in your life.

Ligne St Barth Homme L'Original 

For the dad who embodies timeless elegance and an adventurous spirit, Ligne St Barth’s Eau de Parfum L’Original offers a sophisticated olfactory journey. This fragrance opens with invigorating top notes of lime, lavender, and rosemary, leading into a heart of tropical orange blossom and anise. The composition settles into a base of royal fern, moss, and hay, evoking the fresh sea breeze and natural beauty of the Caribbean.

Crafted with a higher concentration than its Eau de Toilette predecessor, L’Original delivers a lasting, captivating scent with just a few sprays. It’s the perfect gift for the discerning father who appreciates a fragrance that is both classic and vibrant, reflecting his charm and confidence.
