Olfactory Observations on Music & Nostalgia

Listen to the soundtracks to find your perfect fragrance

A portrait shot of our Balcony Tomato scented candle. A tinted glass vessel with a brown round label on the front. The label has a hole at the center making it look like a vinyl record. It is sitting on a wooden shelf in front of a row of vinyl records. The lighting is diffused and warm.

BIG GARDEN ENERGY

Smells like drinking red wine on your balcony, squeezed in among your thriving tomato plants. Inspired by our go to dinner party playlist.

Inspired by the music that move us

The Soundtracks

Each fragrance at Seldom Out starts off with the music.

Woman Owned | Self-Funded | Independently Operated | Hand-Poured & Slow Made in Chicago
A woman's hands holding our 12 oz Amber Glass Candle, she has the candle tilted to see the wick and is lighting it with a lighter.

The Story

We all know the magic of music, right? That mood-bending, nostalgia-inducing, experience-making kind of magic? Well our mission is to turn *that* into fragrances that do the same thing.

In short, Seldom Out creates olfactory observations on music & nostalgia.

SALE!

We use a 100% plant-based wax with no non-soy additives, no paraffin or palm oils and we don't add white dyes for color enhancement. Like food this means it has a sell by date!

We make in very small batches, in quantities that sell quickly, but sometimes we miscalculate and things hang around a little longer.

These candles may not be as pretty as they once were, but we hate to see good candles go to waste.

Oops!

Sometimes vessels arrive to us with visual imperfections, sometimes the wax doesn't set quite up to our standards, and sometimes we just have a human moment and mess up!

Most companies would write off these products and dump them but we're not about that waste!

So if it's safe to use, but just not quite perfect you'll find them discounted in our Oops category!
