ISLAND AROMAS
Modern apothecary MALIN + GOETZ, known for its facial cleansers and moisturizers, recently expanded into the home fragrance market, adding Dark Rum- and Mojito-scented candles to its lineup. With 60 hours of burn time, they're meant to be burned on their own or together for an aroma that conjures up an image of white sand, palm trees, a swaying hammock and a fiery sunset on an exotic tropical island. malinandgoetz.com —C.W.

Candy Shaw Codner grew up in the beauty industry—her father is Jamison Shaw, the first American to win the World Hairdressing Championships. In 1999, she bought the salon her father founded in Atlanta. As a little girl, she never gave much thought to the fact that her house was always full of hairdressers. "My parents regularly entertained people like Paul Mitchell, Horst Rechelbacher, John and Suzy Chadwick and Sam Brocato," she says. When she was a young hairdresser, her father sent her to Europe so she could study art and visit some of the world's great salons. When she had the opportunity to do a shoot in Milan not long ago, she jumped at the chance. Accompanied by Kym Moore, Cindy Watts and Thomas Luke of the Jamison Shaw Artistic Team, she created a new collection there. "My passion is to make women feel good about themselves," says Codner. "We're in the beauty business, aren't we?" —M.D.
