I think I had a candle from Capri Blue years ago and did not love it, but all the same I'm taken with the packaging of their Artisan Gelato Cup candles. Shown is Havana Vanille, in a not-all-that-gelato-ish blend of smoky tobacco, sandalwood and warm vanilla. $26 at Nordstrom, where the same series also includes Coconut Santal, Volcano and Isla Bloom.

Coming soon from Diptyque, the limited edition Pinède candle: "Diptyque Pinède (Pine Grove) Classic Candle unfolds with that sun-warmed calm the house does best. Housed in a glass vessel, Mathilde Jonquière’s mosaic-inspired design recalls a water-garden landscape. The fragrance leans woody and aromatic, a chorus of umbrella pines meeting a herbarium of notes—warm underbrush, flowering shrubs, and the brightness of orange trees by sunlit fountains." The 190g candle will be about $94, and the green lid shown above will not be included in the price.

The Nest Grapefruit candle, in a limited edition design by artist Pierre Marie: "The exhilarating scent of pink pomelo, grapefruit, and watery green notes is brightened by Marie’s trademark ornamental design. The candle is meticulously crafted with a proprietary premium wax formulated so the candle burns cleanly and evenly as it infuses the atmosphere with exceptional scent". $99 for the 600g, 3 wick version, at Bergdorf Goodman.
