Want: Kerzon's quartet of votive candles ("Make a wish! Our magically fragranced votives will make those long winter nights feel like a dream"). Shown are Tour d'Argile ("...a powdery note of iris talc with a green heart note coated with linseed oil"), Dame de Myrrh ("A tribute to Cleopatra, Dame de Myrrh evokes the mystical scent between sacred rituals and femininity, with a citrussy head of mandarin and hints of lavender") and Fou d'Incense ("A nod to the Asian origins of the Chess game. A slight hint of camphor evokes the famous tiger ointment with an aromatic top note of eucalyptus, lavender and mint"). Not shown is Roi de Cuir ("Comfortably seated in a club chair, a cigar in one hand, a novel in the other, its scent envelopes with a sweet top note and a floral heart of geranium on a background of vetiver, vanilla and leather"). 220g each for $42 at Aedes.
