More in depth descriptions of scents:
LES- black currant, peach blossom, jasmine rice, cardamom and white cedar. In the French language, LES is the plural article used for both masculine and feminine nouns. It is also the acronym for one of New York City’s most vibrant neighborhoods—picking up on notes of rice powder, peach blossom, cardamom, cedar and Asian pear, to name just a few of its many notes. All in all, this scent is an unexpected, non-binary, cross-cultural, olfactive exploration—embracing the eclecticism that is the Lower East Side.
Cinderose- rose, tuberose, oakmoss and smoke. Inspired by the floral photographs of Gregory Crewdson, Cinderose exposes the sinister side of the familiar. Notes of rose, orange blossom, and jasmine are mixed with smoke, cedar, and birch tar to create a scent both beautiful and troubling.
Ash- firewood, smoke, charcoal, palo santo and hay. Sometimes you have to burn everything down to start new. Dry hay and black coals permeate throughout the burn. A lingering accord of bright juniper berry round out this modern, smoky scent.
Hinoki Fantome- resin, hinoki, cardamom, jasmine, moss and guiac. A resinous aroma of smoking Japanese cypress and jasmine petals. Warm and meditative with an element of earthy spice notes and quiet, fresh moss. Studies note that hinoki's vibrant timber can induce physiological relaxation. An absolute year round necessity to warm and invigorate the nasal senses.
Redhead- frankincense, saffron, redwood, poppy and pomelo. Redheads are rare and fervent, much like the ingredients in this namesake candle. Grounded in redwood cedar, notes such as frankincense, amber, and cashmeran add a regality. Vetitver and ginger add spice, while saffron and poppy add an exoticism.
Gardener- tomato, petitgrain, white tea and honeysuckle. Citrus groves and tomato gardens give vibrance to this scent of flora still clinging to the vine. Dominant notes of orange tree bark, tomato juice are rounded by drops of honeysuckle nectar.
Cedar Stack- cedar, labdanum, juniper berry, sawdust and white musk. A prettier take on the classic wood scent—cedar chips and dried tobacco are led into deeper spiced floral notes of labdanum, while notes of peppercorn add a light bite to this smell, both modern and nostalgic. It's instant glamping in candle form.
St. Al- sandalwood, clay, clove flower, oud and ylang-ylang. The name St. Al is a play on Santal, the French term for sandalwood. This candle has powerful notes of holy wood and exotic florals, layered with undertones of frankincense. To the nose, it’s a sanctified commingling of dominant, protective sandalwood with notes of clay, clove flower, oud and ylang-ylang. It’s a clean scent with a long, ancient history.
Cowboy Kush- suede, saffron flower, labdanum, pot leaf, tonka, raspberry and patchouli. The scent is akin to “enjoying a joint at a rousing rodeo.” This tumbleweed of a scent is a dusty accumulation of suede and saffron, with puffs of pot and patchouli floating through. It has some dust, it’s dry-earthy, it’s grounded. It’s a warm, well-worn saddle of a scent.
Kush - Green, bright, and a wisp of delicate floral. As the pot flowers and brushed suede warm up, the amber accord grounds this dank and intoxicating scent. A perennial favorite.
PETAL - Magnolia, night–blooming tuberose, and purple geranium float you away while golden amber and exotic musk bring you back to earth in this hyper floral concoction.
JUNE’S - Inspired by the vibrant June's All Day cafe and wine bar of Austin, Texas, the candle recalls memories of late nights spent at cafes in Le Marais district of Paris and eclectic evenings in Austin's famous South Congress Avenue. It is the embodiment of ease and sophistication.
ITALIAN KUSH - Takeoff to Italy in herbal opulence. A new strain of the classic Kush scent with hits of bright Italian citrus and fresh-cracked black pepper sitting atop a heart of basil, oregano and fresh cannabis. Grounded in earthy notes of patchouli and fresh cypress, this candle is molto herbal and sure to make you say “Bellissimo!”
MARBLE FRUIT- turns gentle sensitivity into strength with a ripe, yet structured olfactive composition, combining the expressive tannins of summer fruit with the subtle strengths of cedar and sandalwood. Also invited to the party are blossoming jasmine, fresh freesia and warm musk, all adding to the spectral nature of this iconic scent.
DE NIMES- Named after the city of Nîmes, France where denim workwear was first produced hundreds of years ago, this candle has the quiet, cool quality of French indigo. Invoking earthy notes of violet, eucalyptus and blueberry, this holiday scent has dressed up provincial quality. Additional essences of almond and rhubarb mingle with darker wood notes and juniper berry while ambergris gives it a slight seaside minerality.
CAMEO - CAMEO is an epic floral scent, one that combines strength and softness, the elusive virtues of grace, difficult to find in a not-always-kind world. The spice of crystallized ginger, warmth of vanilla, and the grounding sacred feminine of rose act as conduits for compassion. Inspired by Wedgwood porcelain and the Andy Warhol polaroid of Dolly Parton, CAMEO is absurdly pretty, to a subversive degree. Named after the 18th century stoneware pendants, depicting portraits in profile, Cameo evokes the the pastel tones of blue and pink typical of the Neoclassical style.
WOODPHORIA- Sunkissed notes of fig, coconut and jasmine petals play with the intoxicating textures of sandalwood, cedarwood, and musks. Overlap notes seamlessly blend every layer for a rounded, wholly unique scent profile. A mesmerizing blend of airy florals, earthy musks, and fresh coconut water for balance. Discover your own state of Woodphoria, like you have never smelled before.
VANILLA ERA - Vanilla absolute dances with the dark intrigue of black amber, invigorating coffee, smoldering incense, and the enigmatic presence of iso-e super, weaving a narrative that’s distinctly modern.
