Keep a flame burning with the Rare Love aphrodisiac candle

Looking something to light a fire under your valentine? Check out the Rare Love candle by Burn Rare, said to have the aromatic essences of natural aphrodisiacs. The list of scents in this candle is intoxicating in itself and reads like an exotic travel guide: bitter Mayan cacao absolute; aromatic Ceylon cinnamon bark; Madagascar vanilla bean; Tunisian amber resin; Reunion Isle ylang-ylang; red rose attar; sacred Asian lotus; jasmine sambac; Mysore sandalwood; Nigerian ginger root; Malabar Coast pink pepper; and sensual musk. This supposed erotic combination smells a bit chocolaty at first, but like fine wine has a complexity for more finely tuned schnozes. The three-wick candle burns for more than 100 hours.

Think the $95 price tag is steep for a candle? It costs less than $1 an hour to fill your home (or bedroom) with a sensual fragrance designed to ignite the passions of your lover. Who can put a price on that? Available at Frenchy's.
