A scented candle of bruised rose over sandalwood, floral when first lit and warm and woody as it settles, for the night with nothing scheduled.

Lavune hand-pours N°07 Rosewood in small batches in Los Angeles, in soy blend wax with a cotton wick. The rose is the dark kind, more petal than perfume, and the sandalwood underneath keeps it from ever turning sweet.

For the friend who would never choose a rose candle and will burn this one. For the person whose taste runs older than their age. Or for you, before the bath.
