Some smells aren't perfume. They're older than perfume.
A gajra is a string of fresh mogra (Indian jasmine) sold by the arm's length on Sunday mornings, still wet from the dawn. Women wear them woven into their braids, not for an occasion, just because the flowers are there. Within an hour, the whole house knows.
Gajra holds that exact hour: the one after the flowers come in, before they've started to fade.
Mogra in full bloom. Honeysuckle. A thread of green stem and white tea.
Each candle is hand-poured in small batches in Northville, Michigan. 100% natural coconut soy wax, phthalate-free, vegan. Available as an 11 oz jar, a 3.5 oz tin, or part of the Monsoon Edit tealight set.
Light it on a Sunday. Or whenever the week needs starting over.
