Our Crossing the Bosphorus scented candle is inspired by our best-selling Istanbul fine fragrance.
A moment captured in scent: in Istanbul, a ferry journey across the Bosphorus waterway, crossing from Europe to Asia
Aromatic herbs and spices, frankincense, myrrh, sandalwood and cosy amber.
East meets West.
210gr, will infuse your home with its scent for up to 40 hours.
The first time I lit it, my kitchen instantly felt like a late-summer evening on the water. It burns evenly and the ferry-inspired scent is surprisingly subtle but lingers for hours after I blow it out.
The scent carries a salty-water freshness that instantly takes me back to a breezy morning commute, and it burns cleanly without any soot. I've had it lit for three evenings now and the throw is surprisingly strong for a candle this size.
The ferry imagery really comes through when I light this—it's like the room fills with that particular Istanbul air, all salty and warm and slightly mysterious. Burn time is solid, too; I've gotten several evenings out of it and the scent stays strong until the very end of the wick.
