Salt & Straw ice cream shops in Little Italy and Del Mar are selling some new gift products this fall aimed at the ice-cream lover who has everything.

Ice cream doesn’t have a scent, but the fresh-baked waffle cones the scoops are served in do.

So to re-create the sensation of a scoop-filled waffle cone, the Portland, Ore.-based company has introduced A Whiff of Waffle Cone scented candle ($30) and A Whiff of Waffle Cone perfume ($28).

Developed by chief flavor creator Tyler Malek, the new products have notes of vanilla, heavy cream, salted caramel and cinnamon. Visit saltandstraw.com.
