Tropiq candles

$20

Suji Meswani, formerly a buyer for the Anthropology chain of clothing and home-goods stores, started her line of glass-encased candles three years ago with her husband, graphic designer Geoff Weiser. The candles' scents are inspired by the fragrances the couple encounters when they travel to exotic places. These Tropiq candles come in three variations: lemongrass and ginger, pomegranate and cloves, and lilacs and dandelions.
