A Most Wonderful Candle

Montauk Utilitaria Outpost is one of Wonder Shuffle's favorite boutiques on the East End — impeccably curated with homewares, beauty, clothes, and art. If you're into design, you'll adore it.

One standout on the shelves: Mad et Len candles. This French fragrance house from a tiny Alpine village is known for hand-poured scents and forged-iron containers that look like sculptural art. They're ultra-chic, weighty in the hand, and magically scented.

Former Yves Saint Laurent designer Ingrid Solomonson owns and runs the shop — and she curates these candles for a reason: they’re both design objects and sensory experiences.

The vessel never burns your table, the unlit fragrance fills an entire room, and the scents have a loyal cult following among people who take their atmosphere seriously.

Favorites on the shelf include

Spirituelle, Terre Noire, Vetyver Bucolique, Black Uddu, Black Champaka, Lili Neroli, Black Afghan, and Graphite — each one elegant and deeply transportive.

This is a beautifully made, quietly luxurious object — and a standout gift for anyone who appreciates design and scent with soul.
