The Fall of Rome-Scented Candle smells like cypress trees and red wine. Light it and watch the Roman forum melt into a puddle of wax while you quietly contemplate the impermanence of civilizations and/or candles. NOTE: This candle is about the fall of the Western Roman Empire. If you are looking for a candle about the fall of the Byzantine Empire, you are going to have to make it yourself. (It probably won’t be as popular as our candle, but it will outlast it by about a thousand years.) fragrance: red wine and cypress
