For this literary candle, we selected a very collectible 19th-century edition’s book cover of Emma, arguably Austen's finest novel, wonderfully witty comedy of manners.
Emma Woodhouse is one of the most captivating and vivid characters in classic literature. Beautiful, spoilt, vain, and irrepressibly witty, Emma organizes the lives of the inhabitants of her sleepy little village and plays matchmaker with devastating effect.
Emma loved her tea. She also loved matchmaking and was naturally good at it. The Tea Is For Lovers scent starts with watery cucumber, honeydew melon, and ozone. Middle notes of lavender buds and cooling camphor reinforce the herbal quality. Chamomile and white tea leave complete the note profile of this soothing scent.
Favorite quote: “A woman is not to marry a man merely because she is asked, or because he is attached to her, and can write a tolerable letter.”
