Here the latest photos of our first collection of soy wax candles...I am seriously addicted to "Wanted" and "Fresh." Yet "Curious" remains the bestseller. I finally photographed the "after the fire" : use the tumbler as a pencil holder or a fancy little drinking glass once the candles is "burned down." ( As usual: thanks for pointing that out Bonnie!)

"Wanted" by BINTH. The ever tempting scent of fig.

"Fresh" by BINTH. Olive & Verbena. Pure and perfect. Before. And after.

Dear Bonnie, Gigi, Adrienne and Liz...remember the times this spring and summer when I made you all "test" the wildest, yummiest, most unexpected blends of scents? When I travelled around with a suitcase full of little bottles filled with amazing scented oil concoctions? When I called you in the middle of the night to discuss the subtle differences between rose & orange blossoms, red & black currants? When I asked you to take just one more "whiff", asked you to inhale the scent of espresso beans and, exhale, try again? Today, as the result of your labor of love: the BINTH candles have arrived! We just got the first set from the candle pourer. Below two pictures of the first of our collection of eight candles, the one I named "Wanted." The one that has the mysterious, tempting scent of fig. The design? Punk. Rock. Romance.

Turn off the lights...

A new dimension is added: we are developing our very first line of candles. For weeks now I have been tinkering with an amazing array of essential oils-trying to create the perfect concoction. Then name it and marry it with the perfect BINTH design. I love this process. 8 original designs. 8 original scents. All hand poured and made from 100% soy wax. Our candles will release in September.

Thank you Adrienne for your eyes, Gigi for your marketing wisdom, Bonnie for your words...and all of you for lending me your sense of smell. And style.
