Know before you buy
This is a gourmand fragrance that balances sweet and earthy elements. You will primarily notice the warmth of vanilla orchid and amber wood, grounded by the deeper, slightly smoky notes of oud and brushed suede.
The 3.4 oz Votive is best for small spaces like bathrooms or desks. The 10.8 oz Classic size is ideal for standard bedrooms or living areas, while the 23 oz 3-Wick candle provides the strongest scent throw and is best suited for larger, open-concept rooms.
While the fragrance is rich and indulgent, it is designed to be soothing rather than aggressive. The inclusion of citrus leaves helps brighten the heavier base notes of oud and tonka bean, resulting in a balanced, cozy atmosphere.
Yes, you can select the gift wrapping option during checkout to have the candle prepared for gifting. It makes a thoughtful choice for housewarmings or birthdays due to its sophisticated, unisex scent profile.
It leans toward a sophisticated, woody-gourmand. While the vanilla orchid provides a soft sweetness, the amber wood, oud, and suede ensure the overall experience remains grounded and warm rather than sugary.
