Fresh air, but make it introspective.
Go outside.
Or don’t.
This counts.
This is what happens after everything settles.
Botanic & Brooding opens with a cool rush of ozone and bright bergamot. Clean, crisp, and just dramatic enough to clear the air without asking permission.
It is that first deep breath after the storm, when everything feels a little quieter and a lot more honest.
As it burns, lavender and fresh mint soften the mood. Not sleepy. Intentional.
Like you have decided to stop spiraling and simply exist for a minute. Growth, but without the performance or the matching linen set.
Then it settles in.
Moss, damp earth, and juniper ground the entire experience with something rich, green, and subtly moody. The kind of scent that does not demand attention, but absolutely holds it.
It is clean without being sterile. Earthy without being heavy. Calm, but not boring.
A slow exhale in candle form.
Light it when you need a reset. When the noise finally gets quiet. When you are done overthinking, but still a little brooding about it.
Because healing is not loud.
And neither is this.
Top: Ozone, Bergamot
Middle: Lavender, Mint
Base: Moss, Earth, Juniper
Ozone: A cool, airy note that smells like fresh air after rain. Not the gas. Nobody wants to burn a candle that smells like a warning label.
Bergamot: Bright citrus with a soft floral and slightly bitter edge.
Lavender: Clean, herbal, and calming without turning the room into a sachet drawer.
Mint: Cool, green freshness that wakes everything up.
Moss: Damp, earthy, and softly green.
Earth: Deep, natural soil notes that keep the fragrance grounded.
Juniper: Fresh, woody, and lightly resinous with a crisp evergreen quality.
Light this when: You need a reset without the performance.
Mood: Grounded, introspective, quietly moody.
Throw: Fresh, airy, and softly earthy.
Wax: Coconut Apricot Soy
Wick: Cotton, no metal core
Hand-poured in Las Vegas
Burn Time:
Signature Candle: 8 oz, single wick, approximately 50–60 hours
Grande Candle: 12 oz, 3-wick, approximately 35–45 hours
Wax Melt Cubes: Approximately 8–12 hours per cube
Full Wax Melt Clamshell: Approximately 48–72 hours total
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn.
Allow the wax to melt all the way across the surface on the first burn. This helps prevent tunneling, which is when your candle starts digging a little wax cave in the middle like it has secrets.
Burn in increments of no more than 4 hours.
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Keep away from children, pets, drafts, curtains, and anyone who thinks your quiet reset is an invitation to ask, “So, what’s wrong?”
