As everyone knows, Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is the story of a lively young woman who falls in love with a sprawling country estate named Pemberley, where—inconveniently—a man named Fitzwilliam (?!) Darcy lives.

The Pemberley-Scented Candle captures some of the magic of the will-they-or-won’t-they back and forth between Elizabeth Bennet and Pemberley, as she gradually decides that, yes, she’d rather live in a huge castle than stay at home and marry her dorky cousin.

The surface of the candle is modeled on the real-life Lyme Park, as seen in the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice. If you look closely, maybe you’ll see a tiny Colin Firth emerging from the lake, looking about as good as a man can look in a sodden, billowy nightgown.* The fragrance evokes a hot cup of earl gray tea, enjoyed lakeside on a sunny afternoon, as you think about how to while away the carefree hours until dinner. And the carefree hours after dinner. And the carefree hours tomorrow.

*To be clear, you will probably NOT see him. Unless you've been seeing him everywhere you look, like the burn on your retina from an eclipse.
