"My grandmother would take an orange and almost parboil it ... everything would just smell of oranges and cloves." - Maya Angelou.
This fragrance is inspired by Maya Angelou, who lived as an open book. Growing up, sometimes in her grandmother's home, she was surrounded by the chatter of family and the beautiful aromas exuding from the family's kitchen and attached general store. Each year, her paternal grandmother would boil oranges to accentuate the fragrance in their home. Interviewed about these moments, Angelou would sometimes tear up while fondly reflecting.
In Kari's Chicago-area studio, she crafts each LITOTES candle with clean soy wax and natural essential oils (no synthetics, phthalate-free). All ingredients are non-toxic when used for their intended purpose. Each fragrance is hand-poured by the artist and wrapped thoughtfully, ready for gifting.
