For their 25th anniversary, Aedes de Venustas is bringing back the Encens Japonais candle they did for their 10th anniversary (and which Kevin said was a great candle). It's a limited edition, and 15% of the proceeds will go to the Covid-19 Emergency Relief Fund. "Escape into a magical world, where the beauty of scent stirs the imagination and evokes wondrous dreams. A luxurious scent of exotic Japanese incense intertwined with the softness of leather, balsam and the sensuality of musk. The honeyed bitterness of strawflowers lends a velvety richness to the voluptuous sweetness of precious woods." $75. (Hat tip to Kevin!)
