Why does hay show up in a wood candle?

Because it supplies a dry, slightly sweet warmth that cedar and sandalwood cannot. It is what makes this smell like a structure someone built rather than like a stand of trees.

Is there a price for the Byredo here?

No. The maker's page did not display one when we loaded it, so the row stays unpriced rather than carrying a figure from a reseller.

[ Not shown ] is a figure we hold and are withholding. Not observed is one nobody here has recorded. Hover or focus either for the reason.

Burn hours are as stated by each maker, never measured by us. Where a shop publishes a different figure we record both and say so. “Not observed” means nobody here has ever recorded a price for that row. “Not shown” means we hold one and are withholding it, because its source page or its pricing basis was never recorded, and a sale price set against a list price produces a wrong answer from correct arithmetic. The reasons per row: Byredo Tree House — Price not observed; Teakwood & Tobacco — Price not shown — basis not established; Brooklyn — Price not shown — basis not established; Santal — Price not shown — basis not established.
