The Notes

Top: Smoked black tea, bergamot
Heart: Fig wood, geranium leaf
Base: Beeswax, cedar, a little leather

The Composition

Poured by hand in England from a blend of rapeseed and beeswax, with a cotton wick that burns cleanly for around fifty hours.

The fragrance is smoked black tea and fig wood over a warm beeswax base, with a thread of leather from the Saddle Room accord. Trim the wick to five millimetres before each lighting, and never leave it burning in an empty room.

Wearing it

Let the first burning run until the wax has melted to the edge of the glass, usually a couple of hours; it will burn evenly ever after. Trim the wick to five millimetres before each lighting, burn for no more than four hours at a time, and never leave it lit in an empty room.

The inspiration

The drawing room, lamps lit

Deep green walls, portraits nobody can quite identify, and a candle on the mantel that has burned every winter evening since October.
