A Perfect World
We do a lot of giving and feeling charitable during the holidays, but what about the rest of the year? From the Super Bowl to tax season to Flag Day to Halloween, we pretty much stick to taking care of our own—whether that includes kids, a dog or a new Beemer. Well, spanking new lifestyle line Altru allows lovers of indulgence to give a little, while taking away an enhanced living environment. Creator Manuela Testolini Nelson (of established luxe product brand Gamillah) is of Egyptian and Italian descent and just naturally infuses her soy candles, incense and interior fragrance oils with spice and soul. Dubbed Integrity (Persian Lilac & Bamboo), Harmony (Tanenashi Persimmon), Artistry (Masala Chai), Remembrance (Grapefruit & Italian Rosemary), Wellness (White Clove & Wild Ginger) and Appreciation (Tiare & White Freesia), the wax dreams and home scents smell amazing and are packaged prettily. Even better, proceeds go to the owner’s charity In A Perfect World Foundation, which strives to empower children to become socially responsible leaders. Sounds pretty perfect to us. $15-$65, Nordstrom Locations: Nordstrom.com, NYC: ABC Carpet & Home Locations: abchome.com

The Stylephile is a potent cocktail of sweet and sour musings on the culture of keeping up appearances. Style should never be a humorless pursuit. Let style editor Caroline Ryder entertain you.
