Harlem Candle Company Ellington Luxury Candle

What it is: This beautifully scented candle celebrates elements of jazz poet Langston Hughes's creative vision with fragrance accords reflecting some of the strong symbols of his life.

Fragrance story: This scent is inspired by 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 amber 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.

Notes:

- Top: nutmeg, clove, leather.

- Middle: jasmine, cade.

- Base: vanilla, sandalwood, amber.
