The place behind the scent

An apartment, early evening

A southern city, late afternoon. Orange peel on the counter, something darker underneath.

Orange peel on a counter, early evening.

The shutters were still half-closed from the afternoon. Someone had peeled a mandarin and left the skin on the counter near the window. You could smell it from the doorway. Citrus, but slower than citrus usually is, because the room had been warm all day. Underneath it, something resinous. An old candle that had been lit earlier than it should have been. It was the kind of hour that doesn't belong to either day or night.

We choose only what's needed. Plant wax, a 60/40 blend of rapeseed and coconut, that pours cool and burns slow. A hardwood wick, no metal core, that crackles low. Glass we wash and re-use when it comes back.

Phthalate-free. Petroleum-free. Nothing added for colour. Pure, honest, deliberately chosen.

The candle is the place. The Letter Club is its story. Each month a different place arrives, with the letter, the print, the frame card, and the scent it came from.
