CANDLES FOR EVERY ROOM

BY JOHNATHAN MILLER

Designer | Lifestyle Expert | Curator of Elevated Living

Let’s talk about the power of scent.

Design isn’t just about what you see—it’s about what you feel. The best spaces don’t just look beautiful… they create a mood, evoke emotion, and linger in memory. And few elements can shape a space faster—or more effortlessly—than the right candle.


That’s why I’m obsessed with the Jill Zarin Home Destination Candle Collection.

Co-founded by the ever-iconic Jill Zarin (yes, of RHONY fame) and her daughter Ally Shapiro, this brand blends style, intention, and storytelling into every single wick. These aren’t just candles. They’re a sensory passport—and a masterclass in what modern design can be.

WHY THESE CANDLES DESERVE A SPOT IN EVERY ROOM

Features:

  • 55 hr burn time

  • One cotton wick

  • 10 oz

  • Double Glass Vessel


As a designer, I curate environments that feel luxurious and lived-in—spaces that tell a story without saying a word. Scent is the final layer in that narrative. It’s the invisible design detail that turns a house into a memory.


The brilliance of the Jill & Ally collection is that each candle is inspired by a specific destination. Light one, and suddenly you’re in St. Barths with the windows open and your toes in the sand. Or in Paris, wrapped in cozy cashmere with cocoa in hand.


And when the wax burns down? You’re left with a stunning, reusable glass vessel. No sticky labels. No design compromise. Just chic, intentional living that goes beyond the burn.


DESTINATION CANDLES – SHOP THE ESCAPE


Sea Salt, Coconut Milk, Driftwood & Sheer Musk

Your ticket to tropical sophistication. A perfect vibe for main living spaces.

Pink Grapefruit, Fresh Mint, Jasmine & Vetiver Moss

Bright, citrusy, and flirty. Great for bathrooms, kitchens, and breezy bedrooms.

Lavender, Bergamot, Sage & Cedarwood

Herbal and calming—this is your unwind-at-the-end-of-the-day candle.

Pink Pepper, Sea Salt, Sandalwood & Amber

Elegant and elevated. I style this in entryways or near curated bookshelves.

Saffron, Tobacco Leaf, Tonka Bean & Amber

Urban, moody, unforgettable. Perfect for offices, dens, or dinner parties.

Lotus, Jasmine, Bamboo & Moss

Clean and serene. This one belongs near your tub—or anywhere you want clarity.

Eucalyptus, Sandalwood, Oak Moss & Golden Amber

Decadent and sensual. Use this when you want a touch of mystery and luxury.



DESIGN THAT DOES MORE


Jill and Ally have tapped into more than fragrance—they’ve created a design-forward ritual. One that’s beautiful, intentional, and effortlessly impactful. These candles are a staple in my lifestyle arsenal not because they’re trendy—but because they work.


They elevate the everyday. They ground the chaos. And they do what great design should always do: make you feel something.


So whether you’re styling your space, gifting thoughtfully, or simply in need of a little self-indulgent luxury, trust me when I say—this is your glow-up.
