A scented candle that makes a room feel like an old library at dusk, fig and bergamot over cedar, hay, tobacco and black tea.

TEKES pours Kamea in Grasse, France, and names it for the ancient amulets worn for protection and renewal. Bergamot, fig and elemi open it, cedarwood, hay, tobacco and black tea sit at the heart, and vetiver, musk and amber linger after the flame is out. 240 g of wax in a black vessel.

For the desk where the day starts. For the friend who lights a candle to write. A host gift for Thanksgiving or Hanukkah, or for you, for the first cold evenings.
