Charles Farris has been making candles in England since 1845 — first for Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral, now for the kind of homes that take a lit candle seriously. Laura and Vassar found these on a trip to the UK and brought them back knowing they'd be impossible to find anywhere closer to home. Hand-poured in rural Wiltshire using traditional techniques and blended by master perfumers, these are the candles you light on a Friday evening and find yourself thinking about all weekend.
Rubus — the botanical name for bramble — is the smell of a late summer walk along an English hedgerow, and it's easy to see why Laura and Vassar brought it back from their UK trip. Sharp blackberry and aromatic bay with crisp green notes underneath — uplifting without being sweet. The candle that earns its place on a kitchen shelf and gets burned on a weeknight just because the evening deserves it. 210g / 7.5oz. Burns 50+ hours.
