In celebration of The Met’s exhibition, Before Yesterday We Could Fly: An Afrofuturist Period Room, we invite you to transcend time with a glimpse into Seneca Village. Seneca Village was a vibrant community founded by free black tenants that flourished from the 1820’s to the 1850’s until the City of New York seized the land to construct Central Park. We bring it to life through our "Seneca" candle.

Fueled by the African belief that the past, present and future are interconnected, the exhibition reimagines Seneca Village in the immersive form of a 19th century domestic interior through sound, storytelling, and a myriad of objects from The Met’s collection.

Top Notes: Black Tea, Thyme, Cedar Leaf
Middle Notes: Incense, Cade, Red Clove
Base Notes: Birch, Vetiver, Concrete

Inspired by this multi-sensory experience, the "Seneca" candle transports you to a fragrant, bustling kitchen with top notes of spiced black tea. Through an open window, breezes carry in an aromatic accord of wild thyme and crisp cedar leaf, which can still be deeply inhaled walking through Central Park today. Incense, cade, and red clove create a warm aura at the heart, leading beautifully to the resinous, woody freshness of birch and vetiver. Modern, powdery concrete provides the perfect smooth finish, representing the present with an eye on the future, as we observe the exhibition in the continuing cycle of life.

Candle Care

Burn your candle until the wax melts across the entire surface. This prevents your candle from tunneling.
Trim wicks to 1/4 of an inch before lighting your candle to promote a clean burn and to maintain a steady flame.
Do not burn your candle more than 4 hours at a time.
Keep the wax pool clear of wick trimmings, matches and debris at all times.
Burn your candle away from drafts, open air vents, or ceiling fans.
Never leave a burning candle unattended or within reach of children and pets.
Extinguish your candle with a snuffer.
Center and straighten the wick after extinguishing your candle.
Do not burn your candle all the way down. Always leave at least ½ inch of non-molten wax at the bottom. (Keep in mind that our candles have ¾ inch of glass before the wax begins.)
