Part of the fun of using candles is pairing relatively normal-looking wax, such as these ① Floral Society 10-inch fancy tapers ($32 per pair; thehuntressny.com), with an incongruous partner like the ② Faunacrystopolis candle holder ($480; baccarat.com), which designer Jaime Hayon has rendered as a winking monkey in crystal. The ③ Apollo candle, No. 11 ($110; thehuntressny.com), with scents of eucalyptus and oakmoss, needs only a flame to shine: To that end, consider the ④ Flora table lighter ($1,200; floranero.com), which, with its honey-colored aluminum housing, looks nothing like your average Zippo.
