Chicago Autumn CandleInspired by the golden canopies and crisp air of the "City in a Garden," with notes of oak, cedar, and vanilla. Rooted in the 1830s motto Urbs in Horto (City in a Garden), Chicagos parks have long transformed prairie, shoreline, and city blocks into welcoming natural gathering places. In 1934, 22 independent park commissions consolidated to form the Chicago Park District, now the nations largest with more than 600 parks spanning nearly 9,000 acres.
