It's not often a candle can be described as sexy, but Dayna Decker's collection of candles (especially the Couture collection) and oil sculptures fit the bill. All of the candles are made with an ecofriendly gel-like wax, burn evenly, don't leave a speck of sooty residue, and come in divine scents like Khaya (bergamot, green tea, cedar, mahogany, and sandalwood) and Soleil (ruby-red grapefruit, cassis, jasmine, and Tonka bean). And thanks to the wide wooden wick, the candles and oil sculptures crackle like a tranquil country fireplace.

From $36 for a three-ounce candle at Saks Fifth Avenue, 611 Fifth Ave., at 49th St.; 212-940-2269.
