Lyre

Honeyed tobacco, bitter orange, a breath of cedar smoke

A candle for the long evening, after the table's been cleared but the wine hasn't. Lyre opens with a flash of bitter orange and pink pepper, settles into honeyed tobacco and iris, and leaves behind the warm, slightly smoky trace of cedar on wool. Poured by hand into a turned ashwood vessel.

More about:
Lyre

Lyre is not a candle for rushing. It's for the long evening, the one that stretches. Light it at dusk and it will guide you through dinner, through the clearing of the table, through the first quiet hour afterward. By the time the cedar settles in, you'll understand why we named it after the harp — it's a candle that makes time feel musical, measured, necessary

The ashwood vessel it comes in is turned by hand in Segovia. After the candle burns through, wash it out with warm water and a touch of soap. It's meant to outlive the candle by years
