Carmelite - Candle 9.5oz

"Mossy walls"

The perfume of old stonewalls, in the shade of cloisters and convents, this scent of fresh and mossy stone tells us about the black and white silhouettes of sisters moving in the silence of ritual mass.

Under the light of votives and psalmody, Carmelite refers to the peace of souls and eternity.
