Joya's latest collaboration: a Jimmy Fallon candle. "...a scented candle encased in a straight sided glass vessel hit with an organic matte black paint, the candle displays "The Tonight Show" logo of the city skyline in gold. The fragrance is called "CHERRYWOODSMOKE" and is evocative of the talks show set that Fallon designed, particularly the cherrywood cityscape behind his desk and the red leather audience seats." There's also a gold shamrock, Fallon's good luck charm, hidden in the wax. 185g for $40 at Joya. (found via Women's Wear Daily)
