There’s something sacred about summer. The way the light lingers. The scent of green things growing. The warmth that settles into your bones and slows everything down. With this collection, I wanted to capture the full spectrum of the season—from bright citrus mornings to herbal afternoons and dusky, wild-hearted evenings.
The Summer Collection is a celebration of brightness and grounding, warmth and clarity. As always, each scent is blended in small batches using clean ingredients and poured with intention. These five candles are designed to reflect summer’s many moods—soft, bold, fresh, and a little bit wild.
Here’s a closer look at what I’ve been working on for this season:
HAVEN
White Tea • Ginger • Lemongrass
If summer had a breath, this would be it. Haven is airy, clean, and comforting—like open windows and quiet mornings. Crisp white tea brings a subtle clarity, grounded by a gentle zing of ginger and the bright lift of lemongrass. It’s the kind of scent that clears the energy in a room, offering calm and focus in the midst of the season’s movement.
GOLDEN
Papaya • Sugar Cane • Citrus
Golden is pure sun-soaked joy. Juicy papaya and sparkling citrus burst forward with tropical brightness, softened by the mellow sweetness of raw sugar cane. This candle feels like golden hour in scent form—radiant, vibrant, and full of life. I love burning it in kitchens or anywhere that could use a dose of warmth and light.
OPALESCENCE
Coconut • Green Violet • Amber
There’s something soft and quiet about Opalescence. It opens with creamy coconut, moves through delicate floral green violet, and settles into the smooth, glowing warmth of amber. Dreamy, skin-close, and subtly sensual—it’s like a breeze across sun-warmed skin or a silk slip caught in the light.
VERDANT
Basil • Sesame • Verbena
Verdant is summer at its greenest. Inspired by herb gardens and overgrown paths, this scent blends fresh basil and rosemary-like clarity with the grounding softness of sesame oil and bright citrusy verbena. Earthy and alive, Verdant is perfect for those who love botanical, herbal scents that feel like nature in motion.
COWGIRL
Lavender • Leather • Amber
Cowgirl is bold, tender, and unforgettable. It’s the dusty trail at dusk, a field of wildflowers, and a quiet kind of strength. Smoky leather and golden amber create a rugged warmth, while soft lavender adds an unexpected calm. This scent is wild and grounding all at once—a true summer signature.
Each candle in this collection was crafted with the season’s energy in mind. Whether you're craving something bright and citrusy or something earthy and deep, there’s a scent in this collection to match your summer mood.
Thanks for being here and supporting handmade, seasonal creations. I can’t wait to hear which one becomes your favorite.
Until next season,
