Vilshenko Autumn Candle

I see the candle, but what I actually see is a tall glass of hot tea in an ornamental metal holder, the kind traditionally used on Russian trains; my grandmother; her strong black tea with sour cherry preserves--the old-fashioned Russian way.

AUTUMN is a warming combination of blackberry, nutmeg and patchouli enlivened by the uplifting freshness of jasmine, bergamot and plum.
