Candles are one of those luxury-necessity things that are extravagant yet totally, completely necessary all at the same time. When I'm all grown up I'm going to have a table in my apartment just full of them - A.P.C, diptyque, Byredo, Maison Balzac - and sometimes, just for the thrill, I'll light them all at once and watch the flames flicker, their fiery persistence and burnished amber hue the truest of all companions.
