The Taverna Collection

THE TAVERNA COLLECTION

Music, Sweets, and Stories

When the sun sets over the Aegean, the tavernas come alive with music, laughter, and the smell of something sweet frying in oil. This collection captures those evenings when the bağlama is played until dawn, when lokma — golden fried dough balls — are passed around warm and dripping with honey syrup.

It's the scent of celebration, of community, of nights that stretch long and sweet. Light these candles and let the party begin.

This Collection Includes:

BAĞLAMA NIGHTS (Bağlama / Μπαγλαμάς)
Star anise, mastiha, sandalwood

The bağlama — that long-necked lute — fills tavernas with melancholy and joy in equal measure. This candle captures the atmosphere of those nights: the resinous sweetness of mastiha, the warm spice of star anise, the grounding depth of sandalwood. Music drifting over tables covered in meze, glasses raised in endless toasts, stories told and retold until they become legend.

LOKMA (Λουκουμάδες)
Fried dough, orange zest, cinnamon, caramelized sugar

Watch the lokma vendor work: dropping rounds of dough into hot oil, watching them puff and turn golden, draining them just long enough before drowning them in honey syrup spiked with orange and cinnamon. They're handed out at festivals, at celebrations, at moments that deserve sweetness. Warm, sticky, impossible to eat just one. Pure joy in fried form.
