You could spend hours nosing around the tiny but fragrant storefront Mark Towns and Stephen Pearlman opened in July. Edgewater Candles (1050 W. Bryn Mawr Ave.) sells 30 varieties of candles,  all hand-poured with a blend of soy wax, essential oils, and additive-free scented oils. To make things easier for you, here’s our low-down on four favorites:
