The New York Times - A gift-worthy candle with a fresh scent
This botanical candle is a bit of a splurge, yes, but after two years of regular use, it’s still going strong and sitting pretty (in its lovely, calming green glass jar) on editorial director Leta Shy’s mantel. It’s delightfully herbaceous with a crisp, briny undertone—a scent that Leta says brings her closer to nature and forces her to slow down. It’s a lovely thing to have, or to gift, as we head into holiday chaos. “When it’s time to meditate or to take a break from (over)thinking, or even just to focus on a task, I like to light it and wait until the scent slowly permeates my surroundings, never overpowering,” she writes. “It’s there to help me relax, reminding me to take time and smell the sage.” A gift-worthy candle with a fresh scent→ We independently review everything we recommend.
