    Real talk

    Beeswax opens full and warm. The goldenrod gives it an edge, a slight bitter-green brightness that cuts through the sweetness. The angelica grounds it.Ex Votos
    The beeswax is the whole point. Not the polished kind in a fancy candle, real beeswax, golden and close to the hive. Paired with mountain tea and Turkish rose.Sideris
