"Joya, the NYC - based fragrance and home ambiance innovator Baxter of California, the premium men’s grooming line since 1965 – Reed Space, a NYC pioneer in the concept of a “lifestyle boutique”, have all joined forces to create “LAPSANG NOIR”."
"The new scented?soy -wax -candle was inspired by the Joya-Baxter “Flammable” Noir home fragrance series. Lapsang Noir is a Smoky, steaming black Lapsang Souchong Tea with inflections of exotic Indonesian herbal tones over a warm and radiant white floral complex of Tuberose, Pikaki, Ylang Ylang and Jacaranda blossoms.
"We were burning the Baxter "Noir" Candle Series at the Staple Design studios as well as Reed Space on a regular basis. It was a unanimous favorite for the whole company,” Says Jeff Staple, Founder of Reed Space.
"This experience inspired us to create a custom scent that was uniquely ours, but still, shared the spirit of Baxter of California and Joya. The result is something that took 15 months to create and we are supremely proud of -Lapsang Noir."
The Lapsang Noir candle will be available in two sizes: HALF KILO (RRP$84) and FULL KILO (RRP$151). The large black wax candles have impressive burn times of 100 hours (1/2 Kilo) and 200 hours (full Kilo).
New York consumers can find the candle at Reed Space on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, and also available in Los Angeles at Baxter’s barber shop [Baxter Finley, barber & shop]. Additionally the candles will be available online and at select retail partners."
