Cozy Pairings
Speakeasy is a rich and layered fragrance that opens with warm spice and soft smoke, blending cardamom, incense, and pimento berry. At its heart, notes of saffron, plum blossom, and tobacco leaves create a deep and slightly sweet warmth, while hints of licorice add a subtle intrigue. The scent settles into a smooth, lingering base of palo santo, patchouli, vanilla, and dark chocolate, bringing a soft sweetness to its darker edges. Complex and atmospheric, this fragrance feels warm, enveloping, and quietly captivating.
Why we chose this: Hannah Miles lives a quiet existence helping her parents research a most terrible affliction, and then a murder at her best friend's engagement party pulls her into an investigation alongside the rudest, most obnoxious viscount in London. Speakeasy carries the layered, atmospheric richness of a world where Regency manners sit alongside monsters, where secrets lurk beneath polished surfaces and the most interesting people are never quite what society says they are. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle as Hannah and Wycliff begin their reluctant partnership, and let the smoky warmth of cardamom and dark chocolate fill the room like a drawing room in Georgian London where the chandelier is beautiful and the body is on the terrace.
