Scented
Tea Candles
Le Palais des Thés's candles are created using the
same flowers and plants that flavor their signature exotic
teas, and each candle has approximately 50 hours of burning
time. We recommend the Fleur de Geisha and Thé du
Hammam for their light fruity and flowery scents, and Thé
de Moines for its heavy and almost spicy scent. The candles
retail from $50 to $60, and can be purchased online or at
their Beverly Hills store. Le Palais Des Thés, 401
N. Canon Dr., Beverly Hills, Calif., 310-271-7922. www.palaisdesthes.com.
