(Written on the inside: 'Nothing gives rest but the sincere search for truth.' Blaise Pascal)
Mizensir keeps right on making candles I want. This one is a whopping 700g with two wicks, plus, that color! The limited edition Freesia de Alba: "More than a color, a feeling.

All that remains is to dive into the water." €149.
From Yield's Architect Series, the Entenza double wall candle: "Inspired by the natural surroundings of the Case Study Homes in the Pacific Palisades. The scent harnesses the essence of coastal California. Always fresh and timeless." With notes of eucalyptus, rosemary and birch, $38 at Nordstrom.
