Nineteen Candles, and the Argument for a Well-Scented House

Architectural Digest has rounded up nineteen candles its editors count among their all-time favorite scents, calling the resulting list a potpourri assortment rather than a single point of view. No one brand tops the group and no single fragrance is named best; the appeal is the range itself, drawn from what each editor personally keeps burning at home. For anyone furnishing a house with the same care given to a sofa or a stair rail, it is a small, useful reminder that scent belongs on that list too.
