handmade in new yorkland by land candles are the newest addition to our highly popular sundries collection at still life. in early 2009, japanese-born, new york-based friends kanoko mizuo and tomoyo kamio collaborated on a small atelier. one part hair salon, the space was soon filled with sundry things they liked in common. using only all-natural fragrances, pure essential oils, and cotton wicks, they began working on a line of candle scents tailored to men. after a strong response from both men and women, they began blending uncommon floral compositions with masculine touches of musk and sandalwood.

enjoy the moment, getting lost in your favourite scent is one of life's little luxuries. based on the philosophy, "a touch of luxury", land by land scents provide the highest quality products using only the finest ingredients. each product is handmade with 100% natural ingredients in their new york atelier, where kanoko and tomoyo carefully blend natural fragrances and pure essential oils.

we've just begun our relationship with the fine people at land by land, and are really happy to have a candle line at the store that all of us (ladies and gentlemen) can agree on in style, scent and merchandising. available in large, medium and perfectly portable travel-sized units, the larger candles average a burning time of 40-45 hours (travel-sized 20-25 hours). choose from jasmine, leather, neroli, savon, cassis and bergamot scents. now available in store at still life.
