When I was a child, my mother began observing advent as a part of her religious experience of Christmastime. I never fully understood all of the fine points of her ceremony, but I have to admit that it created a life long love of candles and the exquisite dancing light of the flame. She had other wonderful Christmas decorations that were only allowed to be experienced during this very short period of time in December, including my favorite candle set: a golden angel set on a twirling wheel. The softly scented candles were in ruby colored glass holders and the heat from the flames would set the angel in motion. I can recall countless deeply dark evenings, with all of the lights out except for the colored lights on our tree and the spinning glow from my darling angel. It felt solemn and mysterious, and joyful, too. This is the quality that I hoped to express in this new holiday fragrance for 2021: Ruby Candlelight.
The fragrance of the candles, as I realized later, was a soft raspberry note that mingled beautifully with the scent of the hot wax, the lightly burning flame, and the aromatic ambiance of the the Christmas tree in the room. It was the perfect effect to bring to life the color of the glass and the candles. I hope that Ruby Candlelight will bring you as much pleasure to experience this holiday season as it does for me to share it with you! Happy Holidays <3
