Remember when Samantha on Sex and the City said, “for single women, candles are the new cats”? Ever since then, I’ve been terrified of candles. Curing my phobia is this new White Pepper version from Henri Bendel. With notes of lily and nutmeg mixed in with a sharp, spicy smell, the candle makes a room smell awake, not perfumed.

$26 at Henri Bendel, 712 Fifth Ave., near 56th St., 212-247-1100; henribendel.com.
