Footfalls echo in the memory,
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened . . . --- T.S. Eliot, “Burnt Notion” from Four Quartets.

Inspired by the tender ache of a love that cannot be, Forbidden Love captures the essence of yearning hearts and the irresistible pull of temptation. This candle dares you to exchange secret glances across crowded rooms, indulge in lingering touches and brushes of hands, and whisper promises in fleeting moments of hope. This candle is for those who understand that love, when forbidden, burns all the brighter.

Step into a world where passion is both a blessing and a curse---where gardenias bloom in hidden meeting places, stolen moments taste like sweet cherry wine, and honey lingers on the lips, soft and golden, as a reminder of what is sweet yet unattainable. Subtle notes of lemon peel, sun-dappled gardens, jasmine braided through loose tendrils of hair, and phantom whiffs of amber and oak drift through the air. A hint of warm bergamot clings to the memory of a teacup left forgotten, capturing the bittersweet beauty of a love lost to time.

Forbidden Love is part of the Archetype collection, celebrating timeless character dynamics and classic literary tropes.
