The 'Twilight' Candle
Inspired by the heady sensuality of Twilight— not the popular series, but the magical hour of the day. This fragrance evokes that time between sunset and sunrise brought to life in an emotive floral scent of three essential oils: clary sage, Egyptian geranium and patchouli— grounded by herbaceous & earthy notes. Its fragrance will rouse your senses.
Complimentary Digital Calligraphy Service saves you time!
Mr. P is happy to offer a Complimentary Digital Calligraphy service featuring a collection of six curated fonts (modern, historical and classic) to cover almost any occasion. Your cards will arrive with your guest's names perfectly inscribed— one less thing for you to do!
