Description
The Guilty Story Candle by MIHAN AROMATICS offers a rich and intriguing aroma, designed to evoke a night of pure indulgence where every desire is met. It opens with a bright, clean neroli, quickly transitioning into a warm heart of saffron and cinnamon. The scent then settles into a deep, comforting base of vanilla, musk, amber, Australian sandalwood, and cedarwood, creating a complex woody amber profile that is both piquant and inviting. This hand-poured soy wax candle aims to fill your space with a sweet, deep, and slightly smoky concoction, capturing the essence of a vibrant night out. Perfumers: Josh Mihan and Jules Brown
