Even though they are invisible, scents have a powerful impact on your mood, and, sometimes, candles just aren’t potent enough on their own. Any green shopper knows that most air fresheners are harmful to your health and the environment. And, while boiling cinnamon or cloves gives off a pleasant fragrance, who has time for that every day?
Get in touch with your former hippie self instead. With the Lotus incense burner, hand-carved by artisans in Vietnam, the solution is as simple as lighting a match.
