Introducing GOLDEN HOUR, the September Small Batch

Today we released one of my favorite ever candles - GOLDEN HOUR.  This candle represents one of my favorite times of year.  The weather is just starting to change here in Birmingham but Summer is hanging on for dear life.  The mornings are cool, the afternoons hot but not nearly as humid.  And then the golden hour hits in late afternoon. As the sun goes down, it puts a shine and polish on all things natural and real.  This candle is perfectly blended to accompany the golden hour.  Filled with sacred sage, elegant eucalyptus, and musky wood notes, Golden Hour will...

Two New Summer Seasonal Candles!

Two New Summer Seasonal Candles!

Today we released two new Summer seasonals - Nectar and Gulf.  I'm super excited about both of these candles and hope you all enjoy them as much as I do.  Nectar is meant to be a nostalgic play on the honeysuckles you and I and everyone picked right off the bush when we were kids.  Smells just like it.  Gulf is intended to conjure memories of family beach vacations to Lower AL and the Florida panhandle.  The musky sea salt mixes with clean linen to provide a timeless fragrance.  Jump right in!
