The Scent:

Step back in time with Flame Noir Candle Co.’s original 221B Baker St. soy candle inspired by Sherlock Holmes. Our handmade, lead-free scented candle features an elementary blend of aged leather and savory pipe tobacco, nuanced with hints of Oriental opium and oud wood.

The Scene:

Step inside 221B Baker St., London, 1887, and picture yourself in the world of consulting detective Sherlock Holmes. Mr. Holmes sits sipping his afternoon tea, pouring intently over the pages of an antique book as streams of sunlight from the nearby window mingling with his fragrant pipe tobacco. The smoke fills the room with swirls of soft and hazy light.

Picture the rows of bookshelves lining the walls, overflowing with leather-bound books. Fine Oriental rugs are laid out on the hardwood floors like bohemian patchwork. Exotic, dark wood furniture decorates the room, while a delicate violin sits propped against a velvet sofa with the case still open.

Sherlock relaxes into his favorite antique leather armchair and ponders the evidence he has uncovered thus far on his newest and most perplexing of mysteries.

Scent Notes:

Fine aged leather, pipe tobacco, Oriental opium and oud wood with hints of cedar, cherry wood, patchouli, amber, clove, evergreen, rosemary, orchid, jasmine, ambrette seed and library books.

Scent Strength:

Medium

Scent Nose:

The top note of this candle is aged, rich leather. When combined with aromatic pipe tobacco middle notes and a golden opium, exotic spice and resin-rich wood finish, the outcome is earthy, masculine, and complex.

Featured Detective:

Consulting Detective, Sherlock Holmes. First appearing in print in “A Study in Scarlet” (1887), novelist Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s enduring character, Sherlock Holmes, has enjoyed over 130 years of popularity. Featured a staggering 254 times, the character of Sherlock Holmes holds the world’s record for “the most portrayed human literary character in film and television”.

Character Study:

Operating his investigative services out of his home at 221B Baker Street in the Marylebone neighborhood of London, England, circa 1887, consulting detective Sherlock Holmes is the world’s foremost master of observation. Employing all available tools at his disposal from forensic science to an almost preternatural logical reasoning, once Mr. Holmes has been retained to solve the case, no manner of trickery, skullduggery or chicanery will delay him on his unyielding quest for a swift resolution.
