At the heart of this candle is matcha, a green tea note that brings gentle energy and clarity to the air. It’s not overpowering or sugary, but smooth and grounded. This note pairs with crushed mint for brightness and fresh clarity, then deepens with a touch of warming ginger. As the scent continues to evolve, clary sage adds an herbaceous balance and palo santo wood brings a clean, meditative warmth. Together, the blend feels steady, fresh, and supportive without demanding attention.

The relaxing candle is ideal for spaces where you want to feel focused and balanced. Many customers place it in home offices, bedrooms, or quiet corners that serve as personal retreats. The fragrance is strong enough to create presence but subtle enough to live comfortably in the background of your daily routine. Whether you are reading, meditating, or working, it supports your space with intention.

Like all LAFCO candles, Retreat is created using a clean-burning soy wax blend and 100 percent cotton wicks. It features a reusable handblown glass vessel, making it both visually refined and environmentally conscious. Once the wax is gone, the glass container can be repurposed as a storage jar, vase, or decorative piece. Every element reflects a thoughtful approach to sustainability and modern luxury.

The appeal of this relaxing candle is in how it makes you feel. It’s not just about the scent itself but the atmosphere it creates. That’s what makes it more than just a candle. It becomes part of your ritual, something you light when you need to reconnect or take a moment to pause. Its clean ingredients, essential oil-based fragrance, and carefully chosen notes are all crafted to make you feel more grounded and present.

For those who prefer wellness-forward fragrances that avoid heavy florals or overly sweet profiles, Retreat offers a refreshing alternative. The combination of herbal and green elements speaks to a lifestyle rooted in balance, clarity, and calm. It’s a perfect gift for someone navigating a busy season or a beautiful indulgence for yourself when you want to turn your space into a personal haven.

From the first time you light it to the last flicker of the wick, this relaxing candle elevates everyday moments. It helps carve out space for wellness, reflection, and a little peace of mind. If your environment could use a gentle reset or a daily reminder to slow down, Retreat is made for that.
