This candle wins the dinner candle competition for way too many reasons. Its shape is elegant, the scent and smoke is almost nonexistent, the flame burns in a big, exaggerated cone shape, and it doesn't drip a drop. Plus, they're made by a multi-generational candle atelier in Japan run by maybe the nicest people we've ever met, who came to visit us in Asheville and made us even more obsessed with these candles than we already are.
