Handcrafted scented candle in an elegant glass vase and harmonic wooden wick. Made with high quality raw materials.

Arte dei Mercatanti: (1182) The Florentine entrepreneurs who belonged to this ancient corporation imported rough cloth from abroad, refining and finishing it and then selling it. Together they formed powerful trading companies, opening up various branches in many European cities and in North Africa, making huge profits from their trade and becoming known on major European markets.

A fragrance which evokes far-off places; closed in baggage it envelops the merchants’ cloths; it does not hesitate to spread itself through the air once released, to bring to mind the memories of a just-ended journey.
