Forget about cupcake-shaped candles and more classic designs, the Eye Candle X Wisdom Mt. Gentleman candle is where it is at. Shaped like a bearded man complete with glasses and a herringbone poor boy hat, it is the epitome of hipster. Although, a person doesn't have to be a hipster to appreciate it. The sculptural bust would make a refreshing addition to any home. Not to mention a great unique stocking stuffer.
A collaborative effort, the Eye Candle X Wisdom Mt. Gentleman candle is part of the Wisdom fall/winter 2013 collection. It is available in original, brown and dark brown colors. Each one introduces a new scent: Light Coffee, Dark Coffee and Color. Coming in a leather box and cloth pouch, it will burn for 10 hours.
