The Fragrance in Detail

Before Lighting:

An unexpected medley of spicy citrus notes from the wild sumac and elemi accented with rich, the smokey scent of campfire embers and smooth vanilla and cacao.

After Lighting:

This fragrance starts to fill a room within 30 minutes. You'll begin to smell the sweet earthy notes from the tobacco leaf and the warm caramel of roasted chestnuts. The guaiac wood lends a balsamic, woody honey-sweet and slightly smoky scent.

The scent is warm and cozy but elevated.

After Extinguishing:

The scent of sweet smoky vanilla and campfire will linger a little while.

Fragrance Strength

Your home, but better...

We purposely design our candle fragrances to enhance your living space and not over power it.

Scent strength is of course subjective but we hope to do our best in describing what you might expect from this fragrance.

We've determined this fragrance to be MODERATE/STRONG in our 12oz Vessel, and a little LIGHTER in our 8oz Vessel. It is ideal for those who like a gentle fragrance, with robust fragrance notes.

Our scent strength descriptions are based on our findings in a room comparable to an average size living room (15ft x 20ft or 300 sq feet) with good airflow, this scent will be stronger in smaller sized rooms, and lighter in larger rooms.

Placement is everything...

Since our candles are proudly free from harmful ingredients such as phthalates and non-sustainable ingredients such as paraffin which are used to make scent throw stronger & further. Placing your candle in a spot to take advantage of the natural airflow of your room will do this instead. Try experimenting with a few different* placements.

*be sure not to burn in a drafty areas, to ensure a soot free, controlled burn.

Candle Safety

To prevent fire or serious injury we encourage you to use our candles safely and responsibly and follow these common sense usage guidelines:

NEVER:

  • leave a burning candle unattended
  • burn your candle in the reach of children or pets
  • burn your candle on or near anything that can catch fire such as but not limited to drapes, curtains, papers, books, bedding, blankets, decorations etc. 
  • burn your candle in the way of a draft, open window, fan etc
  • burn your candle for longer than 4 hours at a time
  • try to pick up candle that is burning or has recently been put out. Only move a candle once it has cooled
  • use our lid to extinguish your candle flame, our lids are not designed for this purpose

ALWAYS

  • trim the wick to 1/8 inch before use to prevent flaring or an overly large flame. You can simply pinch off the black part of the wick.
  • give your candle a nice clear, heat proof, uncluttered area to sit on
  • extinguish the flame if it becomes to high or is repeatedly flickering. Trim the wick, check for drafts
  • leave at least 4 inches between burning candles
  • place your candle on a stable, heat proof surface
  • keep your wax pool clear of matches, burned wick and other debris
  • be sure to extinguish your candle properly and carefully after use
  • wait until the flame is completely extinguished, the smoke has cleared and the candle is cool before replacing your lid

WARNING!

  • Container may become hot during use
  • Stop burning this candle when only 1/2 inch of wax remains in the vessel
  • Blow gently to extinguish to avoid splattering wax, especially if you have created a large wax pool

NOTES FROM OUR FOUNDER

Inspired by fall weekends, the first feeling of a chill in the air, blankets pulled tight around shoulders at golden hour and gatherings around the campfire. That feeling of being cozy and totally content.

We wanted to create something different from the typical pumpkin spice for fall. This fragrance has all of those qualities but it's sweet, smoky, spicy and cozy.

If this fragrance were a song it would be:

🎶...All in a Dream by LP Giobbi 🎶

-EARTHY-

TOBACCO LEAF

A blend of verdant, green notes with a slightly earthy undertone. Sweet-smelling, and hay-like.

-WILD-

SUMAC

A harmonious dance of tartness and earthiness, akin to a zesty citrus - but with a wilderness twist.

-CARAMALIZED-

ROAST CHESTNUTS

An intricate tapestry of toasty and nutty notes, a blend of warm woodiness, smoke and a touch of caramelized sweetness.

-SMOKY-

VANILLA

Warm and comforting, sweet and creamy. The vanilla in this fragrance has been slightly smoked for added layer of rich indulgence.
