Rêve the Engine

As luxe scented candles have popularized, once exotic or romanticized fragrances have become standards: gardenia, fig, lavender. Although we remain loyal to those sweet floral fragrances, now Rêve de Vivre (Dreams of Life) tempts us with a different array of smells like Youth’s sugar water, ambrosia, milk, and bubble bath elements or Forest’s hints of fallen crab apples and blackberry brambles. Hoping to ignite our sense memory even further, the candle line now presents a limited edition fragrance called Trois de Bois, which includes unusual elements like amber based Japanese Oud, sandalwood and oak with spicy top notes.Packaged in a Rêve de Vivre signature box with illustrations designed to further evoke a dream state, this soy, bee’s wax, and palm wax candle’s scent with lead-free wick may remind you of evenings by the fire place, weekends in the country or maybe just a relaxing evening at home with friends—which may be just what you're doing while enjoying your Rêve de Vivre. $58, revedevivre.com, NYC: Takashimaya, 693 Fifth Ave., (212) 350-0100
