Set the Scene with the New Cask Candle

By

Want to impress a date with a romantic candlelit evening? We’ve found a candle we love that not only sets the scene, but also fills the air with an aroma you’ll both enjoy.

The new Cask Candle offers up a floral-whiskey scent highlighted with patchouli, cedar woods and vanilla. It’s also crafted from soy wax, which means it will burn cleaner than paraffin and be easier on the planet.

This new candle is the second collaboration between Baxter of California and Ronin, a Hong Kong based restaurant established in 2013. It’s a sister restaurant to Yardbird, also in Hong Kong.

“I had the pleasure of meeting with RONIN (and Yardbird) co-owner Lindsay Jang last year when she was in Los Angeles,” says JP Mastey, creative director at Baxter. “At that time Lindsay was purchasing Baxter of California hand wash and candles for her restaurants. Our first venture was a black currant hand wash (BOC & RONIN co-branded) that we launched in the Summer of 2013, while developing a unique and custom scent for a new candle.”

$35 for the Cask Candle at Baxter of California.

Because it's still a relatively new streaming service, and because it didn't come into existence with a back catalog, Apple TV+'s library is thinner than most. Even so, the streamer has managed to build a subscriber base in part by investing heavily in quality shows, and specifically in quality shows with a sci-fi twist.

Severance is one of the best shows on television, and it seems like a guarantee that it will be heavily awarded at the next Emmy ceremony. Severance is one of my favorite shows, too, but it's far from the only sci-fi series on Apple. We've pulled together a list of the best shows available over there if you're looking for great science fiction:"

After the success of Prey, there's some new energy in the Predator franchise. What's even better for Predator fans, though, is that the next installment seems designed to give them something they've always wanted. Namely, a movie that follows a predator's POV.

In the first trailer for Predator: Badlands, a predator named Dek is exiled from his clan, only to meet a humanoid-looking life-form played by Elle Fanning. The two of them team up to take on something that "can't be killed," and a long the way, we get some pretty incredible looks at the homeworld of the predators.
