Description
A hypnotic, rest-focused candle crafted to quiet the mind and soothe the soul. Using a blend of time-honored herbs and botanicals known for their calming effects, the soothing, natural scent helps ease stress, anxiety, and the deep emotional fatigue that so often lingers at day’s end. Each candle is hand poured in Brooklyn, New York and the sculptural vessels are hand blown in Chicago. The impressively weighty solid glass spheres that top the candles recall the scrying orbs once used to summon visions from gods and spirits, when glass was seen as a portal between worlds. When not in use atop the candle, the glass spheres become beautiful sculptural objects for the tabletop.

The hush between heartbeat and deep breath. Herbs steeped in centuries of soft knowing. Lavender for what lingers, peppermint a small permission to release the tangled threads, fir, the forest’s deep exhale. A slow unraveling, smoothing the mind, gentle and rooted.
Cool and herbaceous, a scent that draws you gently toward clarity and calm. Soothing lavender softens the edges, while bright peppermint lifts and refreshes the air. Beneath it all, a subtle thread of fir, green, resinous, with the faintest hint of woodsmoke. The atmosphere settles into something restorative and deeply still, like cool evening air drifting through an open window.
The sculptural vessels are each unique to any other, hand blown by a collective of artisans at the Ignite Glass Studios in Chicago. The impressively weighty solid glass lids recall the scrying orbs once used to summon visions from gods and spirits, reflecting a time when glass was seen as a portal between worlds. When not in use atop the candle, the glass spheres become beautiful sculptural objects for the tabletop.
The Scent as Talisman Home Collection
Flame has always been powerful, a light against darkness and a safeguard against what lurks in the shadows. For centuries, people have burned torches, oil lamps, and primitive candles made from animal fat, not only to illuminate their spaces but also to purify and protect their homes, and to offer devotion to gods and ancestors. Over time, scent became an essential part of these rituals, the perfumed smoke a bridge to the unseen. Crafted as talismans of sanctuary, our first ever home fragrance collection honors the power of the rising tribute, a daily ritual that transforms the space around you.
