4. Heart & Love (Assouline)
Love is an endless fountain of inspiration and has been one of the greatest sources of creative expression in history, from the romantic canvases of Klimt and Fragonard to modern-day power-couples like Beyoncé and Jay-Z. The romantic new tome Heart & Love (Assouline) by Pierre Berville explores the heart’s symbolism throughout history before focusing on love in modern years, especially in pop culture, fashion, art, and more. Love may not be a tangible thing, but the pages—especially the linen hardcover with a smooth textured heart—come close to capturing the ever-elusive, all-encompassing, world-consuming emotion.

Burned together or enjoyed separately, the tangy green notes of berries delicately mingle with the scent of fresh-blooming roses.
