Deadly Nightshade Soy Wax Candle by Marvel + Moon

There's a beauty in the forbidden, a thrill in the unknown. This fragrance, with its alluring purple blooms & deceptive fragrance, has captivated & terrified for centuries.
A veil of twilight descends as the candle ignites, releasing an intoxicating blend of midnight musk & black currant.
Hushed tones of moonlit nightshade weave through the fragrance, a whisper of danger veiled in intoxicating sweetness.
Earthy whispers of damp forest floor and a touch of tomato leaf create a haunting yet alluring atmosphere.
Is it beauty or bane? Will it, as the poets offer in Rappaccini's Garden, “quiet our racing heart and trembling limbs”? Light this candle & succumb to the mystery.
SCENT NOTES: Tomato leaf. Moss. Black Currant. Musk. Vetiver. Leather. Geranium.
ADORNMENTS: Variety of wildflowers
QUOTES ABOUT THE BOOK:
“Stranger under this love-sick tree,” Jules Jacob and Sonja Johanson invite you to walk alongside lost laureates, “feast / on wild rhubarb, parsnip, wine,” and “burst in bloom” as two masters of the art of poetry and horticulture lead you through a lush garden trellised with the history of twenty-six gorgeously written and illustrated poems. Though you may enter Rappacini’s Garden a stranger, you will surely leave a seasoned gardener, blowing “a kiss for every berry” and poem you experienced along the way.
—Jordi Alonso, author of Honeyvoiced and The Lovers’ Phrasebook
How I loved strolling through Rappaccini’s Garden: Poisonous Poetry, with its “ground so rich” and its “sweetness and toxin.” Jules Jacob and Sonja Johanson have created a beautiful, deadly, poetic compendium of twenty-six poisonous plants paired with illustrations that I wanted to touch. “I present luster-stripped / women,” the Rosary Pea tells us, and surely, we must “pay attention.”
—Jennifer Martelli, author of The Queen of Queens
Kneel in this poisonous garden and listen closely as Jules Jacob & Sonja Johanson masterfully build story and suspense through each flower, its presence and endless possibility— “Suicide root’s not for chewing, / its carrot scent’s a sham.” Let each vine wrap itself tenderly around your wrist and pull you in. Learn how to seal a lucky buckeye and be “careful not to brush against the leaves” of the Mango Tree. Enter the garden full of delights and poisons, each gorgeous illustration and poem beckoning for you.
—Minadora Macheret, author of Love Me, Anyway
