No more plebeian presentations for home fragrance: Check out the TasselAire, a perfumed corded tassel to hang from "a doorknob, a closet hook or an armoire key" to evoke the spirit of quaint Louis (the XIV). Venerable scent house Agraria said TasselAire's perfumed core comes in eight colors and scents -- bitter orange, lavender/rosemary, lemon verbena, balsam, jasmine, pear, pomegranate and Mission fig. Spokeswoman Melissa Veniero said the scents are designed to last for six months. $35 each; Ampersand in Edina; Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis and Saks Fifth Avenue at the Mall of America in Bloomington.
