Reviews

Smells nice but . .

"The scent smells nice, but unfortunately, the candle has a very weak flame and poor scent throw. Even after burning it for several hours, only about half of the candle’s surface melts. It’s extremely inconvenient, and I’ve ended up throwing away more candles than I normally would because they don’t burn properly."

Smells of lime and greenery

— Anonymous (5/5)

Earthy & Fresh

"I love the source and story collection (and sad to see it go), particularly the Andean myrtle. The scent is grounding with a refreshing blend of leafy woods, earthiness, and touch of citrus notes. I find this scent to be particularly centering and one that can be used across multiple seasons. Sad to see it leave the collection, so I stocked up!"

— Erin A. (4/5)

Green spiciness

"It is a nice scent I truly like. However, I don't think I will repurchase it as it seems to lack complexity. It is a nice spicy green scent, but it somehow lacks presence. My order arrived very quickly and was beautifully packaged. I will definitely continue exploring this brand"

— Olga O. (4/5)

Whether you’re looking to refresh your space or unwind in an atmosphere of effortless luxury, this earthy candle offers a unique balance of brightness and depth.

From the first flicker, zesty lime and mandarin burst forward, filling the air with an effervescent, sunlit freshness. These crisp citrus notes are complemented by the distinctive aroma of Andean Myrtle, a rare botanical harvested in the remote valleys of Peru. With hints of eucalyptus, leafy woods, and a touch of apricot-like sweetness, this ingredient brings a soft complexity to the scent. The addition of Schinus Molle, a Peruvian pink pepper tree, introduces a subtle spice that enhances the candle’s natural warmth. As the wax slowly melts, earthy palo santo and moss emerge, adding a smooth, resinous depth that lingers in the background. The result is a fragrance that feels both invigorating and grounding, an ideal balance of energy and calm.
