Until recently, I might have said that the one product we don’t need to stock up on is stick foundation. There are more than enough in the world to get us through the apocalypse. And then I discovered the new, viral Dior Forever Skin Perfect foundation stick. Available in 18 creamy shades, it delivers blendable coverage with a natural blurred finish. I wore it for more than 15 hours recently on a day that included three meetings, two trips to the post office, and a dinner party—and it didn’t budge. And if you’re inclined to touch up when you’re out and about, the stick is compact enough to toss in your bag. I’m not sure how I’d live without it, so I’ve now squirreled away extras in my cupboard next to the canned hearts of palm. ($52, dior.com) —Christina Grasso

Surely you’ve heard enough about the migrant issue this year, but I’m here to tell you it’s true: fine perfumeries have recently become overrun with children as Gen Zalpha’s tastes in fragrance continue to, for better or worse, skyrocket. So it’s possible to read Bath & Body Works’ new line, Everyday Luxury Fine Fragrance Mists, as an attempt to lure them back home. Each one is “inspired by iconic, coveted favorites”—in plainspeak, a loose and simpler approximation of a more expensive scent. I’ll let you wonder who Lost in Santal wants to grow up to be, but I have to recommend If You Musk, which wears like warm, clean flannel (layering comfortably under heavier scents, if you want to continue the metaphor) and was nosed by Givaudan. Great for kids, too. ($18.95, bathandbodyworks.com) —Brennan Kilbane

For six generations, the Fournival family of France has relied on the craftsmanship of fine hygiene tools, such as toothbrushes made from ivory, and about a century ago they winnowed their focus down to deluxe hairbrushes. La Maison Fournival-Altesse rebranded as Altesse in the 60s and now supplies hairbrushes to more than 20 French houses—from oldies (Officine Universelle Buly) to newbies (La Bonne Brosse). Their private collection, Altesse Studio, recently arrived in the U.S. and features a Prestige model: carved in featherweight olive wood and hand-strung with boar bristles, each is designed as an heirloom and comes with a lifetime of free repairs. Good hair for life, and for lineage. ($480, nordstrom.com) —Brennan Kilbane

One cannot help but be halted by the phrase “candles designed with input from a neuroscientist,” though the sooner you get past it, the sooner you understand Caftari’s whole thing, which feels like aromatherapy meets Andrew Huberman. Whether or not you believe scent can affect health may come down to your trust in essential oils, so here are the indisputable facts: the candles have excellent throw, burn evenly when the wicks are trimmed, and are sold at Credo, meaning the ingredients comply with clean beauty’s Geneva Convention. And maybe the patchouli-on-agarwood Scent of Nirvana does make me feel more contemplative. My mind wanders and ponders life’s myriad questions, like: Is the neuroscience stuff a bit much?

My après-gym hair has never looked better, and it’s not because there’s decent shampoo in the locker room at last. Now, I’m blotting my scalp with Briogeo’s new Style + Treat Dry Shampoo Puff. A small container of finely milled talc-free powder (choose between universal clear and brunette), it’s topped with a sponge applicator that evenly distributes the product exactly where you want it, without a messy aerosol spray. (I target sweat-collecting spots like the nape of the neck and the top of the forehead.) It refreshes my hair and adds a bit of bounce and volume, and while it’s not quite the same as a blowout at David Mallett, it’s a lot more convenient. ($28, sephora.com) —Ashley Baker

Say what you will about the Catholic Church, but they got one thing right. When the rich aroma of frankincense fills the air, it’s hard not to tune out the gospel and start dreaming about adding incense to your shopping list. Revered since the days of ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, frankincense inspired the word “perfume,” derived from the Latin word perfumum, meaning “through smoke.” It’s now the muse behind Encens Précieux, the latest fragrance from Van Cleef & Arpels. Founded in 1906, the jeweler has always drawn inspiration from nature, and this woody, resinous scent is no exception. Black pepper ignites a fiery warmth, while smoky notes of myrrh and leather unveil the essence of incense. In the background, subtle hints of tobacco and vanilla round out the composition. For those who daydream in church or never got around to a trip to the Sahara, this might be your next best escape. ($270, neimanmarcus.com) —Jeanne Malle
