The "Langston" candle celebrates elements of the jazz poets creative vision with fragrance accords reflecting some of the strong symbols in his life….

The worn vintage leather of his favorite armchair, aromatic tobacco laced with a hint of clove and vanilla from the pipes of the neighborhood men, and the smell of ambery incense that recalls his many visits to churches in Mexico.

A dramatic heart of heady jasmine and a warm background of resinous sandalwood round out this deeply personal blend that perfectly evokes Langston Hughes, a true Renaissance man.

George ★★★★★

I wasn't sure what to expect from a candle inspired by a poet, but that worn vintage leather note is uncanny—it really does smell like the inside of an old library armchair. It's a bold, comforting scent that fills my whole living room in about twenty minutes.

John W. ★★★★★

The jazz-era vibe is spot on—it genuinely smells like an old library where a poet just set down his coffee. I've burned it for three evenings and the leather note stays rich without ever turning overpowering, which is exactly what I hoped for. Definitely the most atmospheric candle I've owned so far

Charlotte ★★★★★

Lit it for the first time last night and the worn vintage leather accord immediately filled the room—like stepping into a favorite old study. Burn time seems solid so far, and the scent stays noticeable without overpowering the space.
