I am still lemming that darned Salta candle and here is another limited edition I could live with: the Cire candle. "The Cire scented candle is an olfactory representation of the manufacture: symbolic, it blends emanations of warm wax and perfumes being crafted. Reinterpreting Cire Trudon’s fundamental values - ancient savoir-faire and commitment to excellence - the scented candle reveals a unique perfume: behind the amber-colored glass, a beeswax absolute. Bees and beeswax have always been at the heart of the manufacture’s History: since the 17th century, Cire Trudon’s motto is “Deo regique laborant”, which means: “they (the bees) work for God and the King”. 2019 marks a turning point for the Maison, as Cire Trudon decided to financially help the Orne Dark Bee Conservatory, with the partnership of the Perche Nature Park. 4 percent of all sales of the Maison’s Cire candle will go toward the saving of Orne Dark Bees." $125.

Caswell Massey's Yellowstone collection, in collaboration with Yellowstone Forever, includes a series of five "Fragrance Tonics" (Eau de Toilette splashes) inspired by Yellowstone National Park. "Old Faithful Fragrance Tonic is an unusual fragrance derived from living floral captures near the Old Faithful Geyser, with wonderful base notes of Moss and Pinesmoke combined with a blend of aromatic notes, including Yellowstone Sage, Blue Lupine, & Larkspur. Derived from rare botanicals near the most active thermal features in the Park. Old Faithful is the most unusual and unique scent, with Living Sagebrush, Tree Moss, Birch & a strong scent of Smoky Wood." $48 for 100 ml, or there is a multi-purpose skin and hair oil, $42 for 30 ml, either way, a portion of the proceeds benefits the park.
