During one of my recent excursions around the city I spotted a beautiful box as I strolled through a department store.  The way in which this rectangular shaped box presented itself incited a prodigious feeling in me. 

It was plush to the touch and red with gold lettering.  It didn't contain diamonds; neither pearls, rubies nor any of those treasures which make a woman's heart skip a beat.  Instead, it contained gems for the olfactory system and the box read Nest Fragrances.  It was a set of six votive candles and the scent emanating was divinely rich -- a master combination of pomegranate, mandarin, orange, pine, cloves and cinnamon with a hint of vanilla and amber -- from their Holiday Collection.

Diamonds, pearls, and rubies may make a woman's heart skip a beat, but these candles will make her heart skip a beat while forever enrapturing her senses.
