*Now availble in Hearth scent for the holidays!* These candles are unique. First, the natural scents are exquisite yet subtle, completely unlike the sickly-sweet ones available at Ye Olde Candle Shoppe at the mall. That's because we pair natural essential plant oils with natural soy wax from soybeans--a winning combination when it comes to clean-burning, freshly-scented candles.
Almost every other kind of candle (except beeswax) is made from petrochemicals--that's why they throw so much artificial fragrance in, to mask the horrible gassy smell of the candle while it burns. And that stuff is nasty for you and any pets you love. Click here for an article about what happens when you burn regular scented wax candles.
Soy burns as cleanly as you'd expect a pure vegetable wax to burn—you can put these candles on a bookcase and there won’t be a sooty, smoky mark (that’s also because the wicks are lead-free). Because they contain essential oils, these candles emit scent differently, by the pooling of the wax, not by the actual burning of the candle; you can light it, let it burn for about twenty or thirty minutes and then blow it out, thereby lengthening candle life. Because our candles contain only natural essential oils for scent, they are subtle rather than scent-blasting.
They are also vastly under-priced versus their competitors in the ultra-premium scented candle category including Diptyque, at $55 for 7 ounces and Agraria, $50 for 7 ounces. We’ve priced them that way for a reason, which is that the other players are making obscene margins and we settle for far less per candle because we make it up in volume. You win, we win, win-win, whoo-ee.

SIGNATURE is our most popular home scent. French lavender makes it calming and restorative, but the Washington peppermint and Tunisian rosemary give it clean, fresh, bracing notes to which both men and women are drawn.
SWEETGRASS is our most complex home scent, in which we balance the springlike freshness of Italian lemon and Indian lemongrass with the woodsiness of Moroccan cedar and finish with a note of rose geranium from China. It’s an aromatic scent that recalls the perfect warm summer evening—lush, romantic, enveloping.
TEA ROSE is our floral home scent with a twist, in that it’s far lighter and more balanced than other florals. The addition of costly Brazilian rosewood adds pleasing depth, while real green tea from Japan conjures crisp, clean notes of spring.
SPA is composed of Australian eucalyptus, California lemon and Washington mint, redolent of our favorite (oh so decadent) Napa Valley spa. It is clean, fresh and slightly astringent, so it perks up even the most dismal day—or surroundings.
HEARTH is the contemporary holiday scent that's never sweet or cloying. Bright fresh bitter orange is paired with foresty juniper berry and warm seasonal scents like clove, cardamom and cassia for a holiday fragrance that's uniquely addictive. Hearth sets the tone for any seasonal gathering--try it during yours and see what happens.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS: Are included with every candle.
PEOPLE WHO LIKE IT are happy to have an easy way to enjoy their favorite nancy boy room scent, are surprised by how long the candles last, are happy they don’t create smoke/soot.
PEOPLE WHO DIDN”T LIKE IT thought the scents were too weak, didn’t trim the candle wick after each burn, so the flame burned too big and the candle wasn’t long-lasting.
