苦櫻桃

The tart black cherry hits first, then that sandalwood and vanilla settles in so creamy it almost feels like dessert. I've had the candle going for two hours and the whole hallway still smells rich, not cloying at all.

The cherry hits first—juicy and tart, not candy-sweet—then the sandalwood and vanilla smooth it out into something creamy and warm. I've burned a lot of candles, and this one fills the room without ever turning cloying. The bold edge keeps it from feeling like a dessert, which I appreciate.

The moment I lit this I could smell the black cherry before the wick even caught properly, and it stays tart instead of turning syrupy. The vanilla comes through just enough on the drydown to soften the sandalwood without making it feel heavy for spring.
