Hunting & Gathering

French designer James Taffin de Givenchy is known for his modern, sculptural and evocative jewelry designs, working with bold combinations of diamonds, peridots, sapphires, mandarin garnets, coral and spinels. His brand, Taffin, also produces home fragrances that channel the same attention to craftmanship and luxury, the three candle varieties an homage his personal sensibilities. The white packaged Bois de Lilas combines the sweet smells of lilac and rose (the universal symbol of love), giving off an energizing and harmonizing power. A dash of sweet honey balances out the florals with a sense of earthiness and comfort. Sample all three scents and pick one that speaks to you at Orange Avenue's new home shop, Pansy Bayou.
