Whether you’re planning, reminiscing or simply daydreaming about a trip to one of the world’s most desirable destinations, there is often no better source of inspiration than a book from Assouline’s impeccable Travel Series. The French luxury publisher’s lush pictorial treatment, both archival and contemporary, of each iconic spot accompanied by witty, pithy texts, along with each volume’s evocative graphics has made them a hot commodity amongst jet-setters and the design cognoscenti. And they have now replicated some of their most coveted editions in olfactory form with a set of Travel Series-inspired candles to even further enhance the experience.
