From Atkinson’s, the Rum & Chestnut Duet candle: “Rum & Chestnut Duet is a glorious concoction of ingredients designed to conjure up images of flaming rum-soaked puddings, burning log fires, and of course, the comforting aroma of roasted chestnuts. Joining the sensory party are notes of frankincense and cedarwood for a spicy, smoky, ever-so-slightly sweet, and dare we say exotic fragrance that most definitely packs a (rum) punch. Inspired by two of winter’s most suggestive aromas, Rum & Chestnut Duet is an unconventional fragrance that is earthy and smoky with just a hint of sweetness. Light this sweet but spicy Limited edition candle and banish the winter blues!” $80 for 200g at Dillards.
