Scent Guide
Nine families. One quiet vocabulary.
Every candle we make belongs to a scent family — a small, named corner of the fragrance world. Use this guide to learn what each one smells like, which candles belong to it, and how to read the top, middle, and base notes on the product page.

How to Read
Top, middle, base — what they mean.
Every candle lists its notes in three tiers. They aren’t a flavor profile; they’re the order in which you’ll smell a fragrance as it burns.
Top Notes
The first impression.
The lightest, most volatile molecules in a fragrance. They lift off the candle first — in the first fifteen to thirty minutes of a burn. Citrus, herbs, and fresh greens live here.
Middle Notes
The character.
The heart of the fragrance — what you smell once the candle has been lit a while. Florals, spices, and warm aromatics tend to live here. Most of our blends are built around a single middle note.
Base Notes
The long memory.
The deepest, slowest-evaporating molecules. They anchor the fragrance and linger in the room long after the candle is blown out — woods, resins, musks, and amber.
