The opening smells like a forest in winter: pine needles, lime and basil, with a red pepper that warms things up quietly. Then cinnamon and clove move in, and jasmine slips through like a stolen kiss under the mistletoe.

A base of cedar, sandalwood, amber and patchouli turns your living room into a cabin. This is the candle for thick blankets, wool socks and someone who swears they are only staying ten more minutes. The flame knows better.
