A limited edition candle, conceived by the late Tobias Wong and inspired by the New York Times:
The scent of the candle is newsy, with hints of guaiacwood, cedar, musk, and spice. Characterized by "a powdery note and velvet nuance," the scent is meant to mimic the aroma of black ink on newsprint.
$65 at Project No. 8.

My dad was a newspaper archivist. When I was a kid I think our house would have smelled like newspapers a lot of the time. Wonder how evocative this candle really is?
I wonder too. If I was sure it was strong, I would buy…
Have to say I’m a little haunted by this, since the physical newspaper itself (and its smell) seem to be on the way out.
Exactly! It’s a great idea.
Ah, love it! I really need to get my hands on one of these.
If you do, please let us know if it’s good!
