/02/ Blue Agave Candle

sunlit citrus from the desert’s edge

You didn’t expect the desert to smell like this.

Dry heat, stone underfoot , and then, a sudden brightness, as if the sun itself had been squeezed into the air. Blue agave standing tall, its leaves catching the light, carrying a fragrance both sharp and sweet.

Not lemon. Not lime.

Something rounder, juicier. Like grapefruit kissed with green.

This candle remembers.
