From Aesop, the Callippus candle: "...titled for an astronomer of Ancient Greece famed for refining the planetary theory of his time. Its woody, earthy, green fragrance alludes to rituals overlaid with the drifting smoke of incense. // Scented candle redolent of ritual in its inclusion of Frankincense, Guaiacwood, and fresh notes of Shiso." 300g for $110. (Written on the inside: 'Nothing gives rest but the sincere search for truth.' Blaise Pascal)
