Harlem Candle Company Lady Day Candle
Best luxurious aroma for creating an elegant home ambiance.
Inspired by the white gardenia Billie Holiday wore in her hair, the Lady Day candle evokes the irresistible excitement of her Harlem nights. It opens with lush green leaves, neroli blossom, and sparkling bergamot, leading to a velvet heart of creamy gardenia, jasmine petals, and ylang ylang. Coffee flower adds a spicy nuance, while a warm base of coconut milk, sandalwood, and vetiver provide a perfect finish. This intoxicating blend is vibrant and full-bodied, yet graceful and delicate, much like Lady Day herself. Harlem Candle Company honors Harlem's cultural luminaries by curating scents that embody its rich history and style.
