The Scent

Edgy, yet welcoming, this scent captures the sensory contradictions of midtown Manhattan on a wet fall day. Petrichor, minerality and bright bergamot elicit New York City’s damp concrete and sharp skyline facades of granite and steel, while hyacinth, musk, and cedar provide a counteracting softness and warmth reminiscent of freshly prepared bouquets at the neighborhood bodega.

The Memory

“My first visceral impression of New York City came stepping out of a subway station somewhere in midtown Manhattan one wet fall morning. I was mesmerized by the metallic colors and endless layers of granite, glass, and metal facades on the countless structures towering over me. Yet the sharp minerality in the air, enhanced by the wet concrete below my feet, was contrasted with a sense of warmth, almost certainly from the sight and smell of freshly cut flowers at the nearby bodega. That’s New York for you — a city of contradictions.”

    Sophisticated and Mysterious

    Unlike other floral or sweet smelling candles, this one is distinct and fitting for the concrete jungle name. It’s a mysterious scent with depth that keeps you guessing. It really does bring forth the luxurious metropolitan sophistication yet mixing in the discomfort of urban machinery is the best way I can put it.

    Best candle scent ever

    As a native New Yorker I cannot in good faith say that this smells like New York, only because the city does not smell this good. Aerangis candles are always worth the splurge in my opinion, because their throw is amazing, both while lit and unlit.

    Great Scent

    This candle is fabulous. The packaging alone is fantastic and high quality. The candle is heavy but in a good way. Shows it’s worth the price. Now the smell is amazing and the candle burns evenly and the fragrance isn’t too overpowering. Gifted by aerangis. I’m

    Quality candle with unique, fun notes

    I recently got the No 212 Concrete Jungle scented candle gifted by Aerangis. I live in NYC and was excited to smell this candle which is meant to capture the essence of a rainy NYC day, with notes of “concrete” (yet, some warm notes) and florals of a local bodega. May sound strange, but it makes for a fun, unique scent. I like the black, upscale packaging which evokes the mood even further. This is a high quality candle which burns evenly and has good throw. Even the way it is delivered - from the wrapping paper to the personalized hand written note addressed to me (which I appreciated greatly). It shows that great care goes into these products - would highly recommend.
