Fresh Fall Scents, Hand-Poured Candles, and Glacier Trail Sneakers Are on MONTECRISTO’s October Wishlist

Sangre de Fruta Candle

Bowen Island’s botanical-scented beauty brand gem, Sangre de Fruta, launches its new essential oil-based candle trio to celebrate the start of autumn. Available in three signature scents—Garden of Earthly Delights (cedar, sandalwood, and bergamot), Head of Roses (rose and sandalwood), and Neroli Noir (neroli, spikenard, and geranium), each 100 per cent soy-wax candle is hand-poured in a violet glass jar for a burn time of 40 hours.

Virēre Eau de Parfum

Created by Aesop’s long-time fragrance collaborator Barnabé Fillion, Virēre Eau de Parfum evokes the perfumer’s Mediterranean memories of sun-dappled canopies and languorous moments under the fig trees. Derived from the Latin verb “to be full of life,” Virēre blends bergamot, fig, and green tea for a fresh, complex unisex scent that takes the wearer from hectic city life to restorative countryside in just a few green, woody, and citrus notes.

Glacier Trail Sneaker

In step with this season’s on-trend hue, Canada Goose’s fully waterproof Glacier Trail sneaker in new Burgundy/Northstar White goes from snow to sun (and rain in between) with fully waterproof and breathable construction. Working double-duty as a hiking boot, this versatile shoe keeps the harsh elements at bay with a rubberized leather protective overwrap, microfibre lining, and tread designed for grip and flexibility.

Hume Modular Stone Bench 

Casual seating or a cocktail table? The hand-carved Hume Modular stone bench by Kelly Wearstler is both, with three carved stone blocks that form a console or bench when put together and, when separated, stand-alone tables or casual seating.

Duer Stretch Canvas Collection

This fall, Vancouver-based performance apparel brand Duer reinvents traditional workwear with new 360-degree stretch-and-performance canvas fabric for comfortable utility wear that does the heavy lifting. Crafted with a blend of mostly cotton for breathability, the new material also features 5 per cent Lycra T400 polyester and 2 per cent elastane for stretch and shape retention. Finished with a DWR light-rain repellent treatment, each Stretch Canvas piece is dyed in a process similar to denim for a natural worn-in look that develops over time.
