Fireside, Smoke & Embers
An authentic woodfire experience without the ash cleanup! This candle mimics the aroma of a roaring hearth. It blends dwarf pine wood and atlas cedar with oak ash and birch tar for deeply comforting and realistic scent. I love burning it on a rainy d...
Portable Fireplace | Candle
Reminiscent of a grand stone hearth, this candle is the ultimate in luxury and sophistication. It captures the essence of burning logs and rare wood essences with an exceptional throw that permeates a room, but isn't overpowering. This is my favorite...
Diptyque Feu de Bois (Fire Wood) Scented Candle, 6.5 oz.
Ash is modern, edgy, and subverts the typical wood smoke profile by adding slightly sweet juniper. I've found that depending on the batch, it's not always the most consistent scent, with some batches leaning more into dry ash and charcoal, and some m...
Ash: Soy Blend Scented Candles
Otherland's Kindling candle is cozy, a bit sweet, and feels like being wrapped in a warm blanket. It's a bit less ash- or wood-heavy than the other candles in this category due to the underlying vanilla mixed with atlas cedar and cleansing sage. I al...
Cedar Candle - Kindling
If you're drawn to quiet luxury, then this is the candle for you. It's subtle and minimalist with a clean smoke profile. Dry wood ash, dark vetiver, and smoky cedar are blended in natural coconut wax that gives off a moody, atmospheric scent that's n...
Ash Glass Candle
Woodsy, Leather & Atmospheric
Named after the brand's flagship boutique, this scent profile is complex and captures green moss, blackcurrant leaves, and sun-warmed figs on a base of oriental spices and polished wood notes. It's like wandering through a historic, rain-dampened Par...
Diptyque 34 Boulevard Saint Germain Scented Candle, 10.2 oz.
A Nashville-based brand, Ranger Station launched their hand-poured line in 2015 with the Leather & Pine candle. It mimics a brisk winter hike through an evergreen forest in leather boots. It's somehow both clean pine needles and damp bark/rich le...
Leather + Pine Candle
You'll often find this candle burning in spas and boutiques all over Nashville, where the brand launched their hand-poured candles in 2015. Santalum blends Australian sandalwood, amber resin, and subtle notes of cardamom, papyrus, and iris. It's a sm...
Ranger Station Santalum Candle
Bohemia is moody, earthy, and a bit boozy. Think vinyl records and fine cognac. The scent wanders with top notes of warm rum and sweet, smoky opopanax, heart notes of herbal rosemary and geranium, and base notes of sandalwood, moss, and vanilla.
Byredo Bohemia Scented Candle, 8.4 oz.
Designed as a tribute to quiet morning rituals, Soaked blends herbaceous top notes of juniper, cyper, and cedarwood with subtle hints of oregano and lemon, finishing into base notes of amber and fine leather. The result is a clean, subtle, comforting...
SOAKED Candle
The Festive & Spice Edit
Winter scents can lean “cheap holiday craft store,” but not this scent. It's stunning, textured, and warm. It develops and unfolds in a room, opening with bitter orange and aniseed, then leaning into ginger, beeswax, and clove, and finally settling i...
Byredo 8.4 oz. Symphonique Candle
While this candle could easily slide into the woody category, the top notes of Spanish Rosemary and soft spices give it a particular warmth that's comforting and cozy, yet somehow energizing--not go-out-and-take-a-walk-energy, but curl-up-with-a-good...
BRALESS Candle
A limited-edition holiday candle created by perfumer Lyn Harris and painter Will Calver, I haven't yet tried this candle, but I'm definitely going to. Notes of green leaf, patchouli, and myrrh are grounded by oak, cedar wood, birch tar, and sage. The...
