Raven Terrific Scented Candle

What it is: Hand-poured in upstate New York, this soy wax-blend candle is meticulously cared for from start to finish.

Founded by Bee Shapiro, beauty columnist for 'The New York Times,' Ellis Brooklyn was born from the need for nontoxic products for people who love fine luxury fragrances. Named after her daughter, Ellis Brooklyn pairs the paraben- and phthalate-free creations of renowned perfumer Jerome Epinette with artisanal, small-batch, natural formulas to create products that are not only responsibly sourced but also packed full of ingredients that truly care for your skin.

Fragrance story: Witty, mysterious and captivating yet imbued with a sense of humor, the Raven has held a mythic status in culture, from the dark literature of Edgar Allan Poe to depictions in Native American folklore. This stunning peony-patchouli vies for the same complexity of character—the first notes of mandarin and rhubarb develop into a heady olfactive brew underlined by blond woods and liquid musks.

Style: Rich, musk.

Notes: Peony, patchouli, mandarin, rhubarb, blond woods, liquid musk.
