Made to order in seven to ten days. Not stocked — remembered.
Longanima — from the Latin for forbearance — is our slow candle. Tonka and labdanum give it warmth without sweetness; sandalwood gives it length. The wax is double-pour and the wick a paper-cotton braid; once it's burning, it stays burning. Pour it on long evenings.
