Candle Collection
Announcing the KLEIO x Thoreau Farm Luxury Candles Collection. Named after the Ancient Greek muse of history, KLEIO brings the past to life by recreating the aromas of olfactive history in candle form, illuminating a particular place in time. Candles from this collaboration transport you back to 19th-century New England, recreating Thoreau’s olfactive world as detailed in his writings.
