Beautiful!
Got these as gifts and they’re gorgeous, also excellent packaging

Packed with soul and authenticity
The limited edition New York Cares candle was packed with soul and authenticity. It was incredible to receive such a high quality product that directly translated to the charitable action of buying a brand new winter coat for a New Yorker. I also enjoy other high end candles like Le Labo. But for me, there is something about buying high end candles from a native New Yorker and supporting the city I love all in one fell swoop. It does smell incredible as well.

Great fragrance, relaxing light
I was happy to support New York Cares and in the process discovered Spoken Flames. I also purchased a Focused candle. Both smell great and burn beautifully. Pleased with my purchase.

Acts of Resilience
Love this candle! The scent is natural, not overpowering. A special tribute to New York City.

NEW ESSENTIAL
The entire experience of these candles has been incredible. From the packaging to the sound, to the aroma... I mean, the candle literally shimmers! It shimmers! there are a lot of candles out there, but none like these. New essential items in our house.
