Fall Fancy

We love the smell of these miniature leaf-shaped soaps from the Uptown Soap Co., handmade in a brownstone in Harlem (Jar Soaps, $23 for 24; UptownSoap.com) and paraben- and sulfate-free. They're available in six deliciously fresh fragrances—mandarin orange, lily of the valley, wild rose, anjou pear, sweet violets, and lemon verbena. Rake them in and lather up!
