Udaipur: This musky, meditative scent celebrates the birthplace of Abroad Modern and our home away from home on the Indian Subcontinent. A warm, smoky - almost savory - blend of Bergamot and Sandalwood is immediately evocative of the bustling back alleys of Rajasthan, India's romantic City of Lakes. Rumbling around in a rickshaw, weaving around any of the city's seven lakes, Rajput-era palaces and spice markets, the aromas of Udaipur are ever-present and intoxicating. Incense and aromas are widely used in rituals belonging to India's multitude of religions. This candle reminds us of similar scents wafting from the most ornate of ancient temples and makeshift roadside shrines, alike.

Umaji: This fresh, citrusy scent is perfect for spring, with hints of grapefruit, tangerine and most notably, Yuzu (Citrus Junos, or Japanese citron). It takes its name from the tiny village of Umaji (population 900), the beating heart of Japan's Yuzu harvest. In the hills of eastern Kōchi Prefecture, on the island of Shikoku, Umaji has struggled to adapt to a changing economy like so many of Japan’s outlying communities. Yet Umaji, whose name has become virtually synonymous with Yuzu, has risen to the challenge as an intrepid driver and deserving beneficiary of Japan’s Yuzu boom, developing, marketing and exporting its crown crop and popular lines of Yuzu-derived products the world over.

Fujian: Smooth and calming with undertones of ginger and lemon peel, this candle captures the delicacy of White Tea and its birthplace, China's Fujian Province. White tea owes its freshness to the young tea leaves and buds of the camellia sinensis plant and is only harvested when weather conditions are just right, for a few weeks each Spring. Fujian first produced its famous white tea, or bai cha, more than 1000 years ago, during the Tang Dynasty. At that time, white tea preparation was a very different experience than it is today: early harvest white tea leaves were compressed in to cakes and broken pieces were steeped in earthenware kettles. To this day, the finest white teas hail from Fujian.

Helsinki: Cool and crisp, with a profile of bright pine and ozone, this candle will lead you through a stand of stately white birch, the national tree of Finland. In Finland, birch has long served as an important material for building and carving objects such as wheels, skis, sleighs and handles for axes and hammers. Historically, birchbark was used for making satchels, shoes, dishes and even early writing paper by ancient Finno-Ugric people. Beyond its utilitarian importance, the tree also holds significance in Finnish folklore. Birch twigs were used as wands to cast protection spells over the cattle. It was believed that cows who were protected with these ”wands” would provide milk that was as good as birch sap.

Addis Ababa: Floral and subtly sweet, with notes of melon and violet, this candle releases the botanical beauty of calla lily, the national flower of Ethiopia. Not actually a true lily, the calla, or Zantedeschia genus, includes 28 species, all native to the tropics of African. This majestic bloom is one of the oldest flower species on the planet, and lore associated with calla lilies is found anywhere from biblical tales to Greek mythology. The flower's undulating form is often used as an expression of the beauty encapsulated in a couple's love, and as such, is frequently featured in wedding bouquets and depicted in art, most famously, of course on the famously sensuous canvases of Georgia O'Keefe.
