A self-care routine that makes your house smell better, and invites beauty sounds too good to be true. Kendall Jenner, however, makes this fantasy a reality in her California home.
The model shared her home fragrance routine in this year's Poosh Gift guide, lauding the merits of the Walden Mesa Palo Santo set. She states: 'Meditation is such an important part of my self-care routine, and palo santo really helps set a calming mood. I love how beautiful and functional this set is, and I can’t wait to gift it to friends and family to elevate their rituals.'
Long beyond the holidays, you'll want to use the wood burner as a coffee table styling idea. It's made up of a black square base, with a smaller platform above, designed to hold the palo santo while it's burning. Its shape is sculptural and unique and could easily be used to offset the blockiness of coffee table books. The device aids wellness, smells amazing, and elevates design all in one.
This sculptural platform and tray is perfect for burning Palo Santo to perfection. It's perfect for positioning on a living room coffee table or bedroom side table.
We’ve been reporting on wellness as an interior design trend for about a year. From stylish saunas, to design-led cold plunges and even free weights that double as sculptures, we’ve spotted mental-health improvers as decor across some of the world’s most beautiful homes. Wellness accoutrements are no longer something to hide, but something to make beautiful.
Megan Slack, head of celebrity style explains: ‘As wellness culture has moved into the mainstream as a larger and larger phenomenon, it just makes sense that it’s extended to interior design as well. Options like Kendall’s palo santo holder make it easy to tap into this look without installing an entire structure on the home.’
Jenner’s take on the trend is especially appealing because it also taps into the principles of home fragrance. Slack continues, ‘The way that palo santo infuses your entire home with a warm, smoky scent is the perfect way to create a “signature scent” alongside your meditation routine. You can burn the wood alongside other scents for a unique sensory experience. I would love to see this in someone’s living room, or it would be great in a bedroom.’
For a similar sensory experience, we've turned to incense for decades. Here are some of our current favorites, perfect for meditation or just a quiet evening this January.
This set of 25 charcoal incense cones only takes 15 seconds to work their magic, filling a room with a heady aroma in no time at all.
We love the subtle scent of lavender and ylang ylang that these incense sticks release, as it's much fresher than the usual patchouli aroma.
This pack of 75 Fall-scented incense sticks are non-toxic and organic. They also defy the notion that incense has to smell too earthy, releasing a sweet and clean scent.
If you're a design aficionado who is also interested in taking your wellness more seriously this year, Kendall's recommendation is a great place to start. You don't have to be into meditation to appreciate the benefits of fragrance and design.
