I have no need for a scented candle in a sardine tin (nor do I need the adorable fish bags at Beautyhabit that led me to the candles) but in case you do, here you go: "Don Fisher teamed up with Agni of To:From, natural soy and beeswax candles maker, to create the perfect candle and… turns out there are two perfect candles!"
