It was a difficult wax to work with, especially with essential oils, but she persevered and started creating candles in her kitchen.Many late nights and weekends later, a flame was ignited and Lesley finally discovered the perfect formula, Essence + Alchemy - the natural scent and energy of plants with a little bit of magic mixed in.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"dusk-candle","title":"DUSK CANDLE","description":"\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; color: #050000; font-family: europa; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.15px; hyphens: manual !important;\"\u003eFloral | Earth | Smoke ~ Relaxing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDUSK is floral and fantastical, inviting you to take a moment of peaceful tranquility.
