Bell'ochio (beautiful eye in Italian )is an old world style shop in San Francisco filled with unusual whimsical treasures that you just don't see every day.  Here's some of what i find their most unusual offerings available on their website...

absinthe candles...i've seen and smelled just about every type of candle there is, i'm always on the lookout for unusual scents... but absinthe i have yet to run across.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

armenian burning papers...famous throughout Europe, these amazing papers, which are exactly as they were in the 16th century, remove odors from any space with their frankincense and myrrh scent. Simply take one paper, fold into an accordion shape and light one end, then, blow out flame. You will see that the paper reacts like incense and because of the accordion fold you should be able to stand it on its side.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

mouche packets...(aka beauty marks)  a little black dot worn by courtesans, varied according to it's location on a woman's face communicating a secret message....
