At the heart of this lavender candle is spike lavender itself—an herbaceous, camphoraceous variety known for its vibrant clarity and grounding warmth. Unlike traditional lavender, spike lavender carries a slightly woody undertone and a touch of spice, making it ideal for those who appreciate a more sophisticated take on a familiar favorite. Its pairing with soft rose and geranium creates a floral bouquet that feels timeless, not overpowering. The fragrance is further deepened by aromatic catmint and rare white woods, which bring hints of birch, sandalwood, and oak into the blend. Together, they create a scent that’s soothing, dimensional, and remarkably transportive.

From the moment you light the wick, this lavender candle begins to unfold. First comes a wave of botanical freshness, soft and crisp, like a breeze through a summer garden. Then, the complexity sets in—a rich floral base wrapped in warm woods and a trace of sweet vanilla, offering a comforting finish that invites you to stay a little longer. The scent is subtle but persistent, ideal for filling larger rooms without ever overwhelming the senses.

Beyond its exceptional scent, the candle itself is a statement of craftsmanship. Poured into a handblown glass vessel in a serene pale blue-grey hue, each piece is unique and reusable. Once the wax has melted away, the vessel can live on as a vase, pen holder, or elegant storage solution.
