Madeira dos Reis | Vela Perfumada

The gaiac and cypress woods give off this dry, almost smoky warmth that fills my living room without being overpowering. Burn time is solid too, I got a good few evenings out of it before it started tunneling.

I've burned it three evenings in a row now and the whole living room still smells faintly of wood the next morning. The gaiac is what lingers longest, that smoky-sweet thing, and the burn pool stayed perfectly even with no tunneling.

I was worried it would smell like a cheap forest air freshener, but the cyprès and gaiac woods blend into something genuinely rich and warm. Burns evenly for hours and the scent lingers in my living room long after I blow it out.
