Scent Notes

French Lavender, Apple Blossom, Wild Honey, Earl Grey Tea, Geranium, Black Currant, Amber, Cashmere Woods, Sweet Musk

A wistful blend of steeped Earl Grey tea and French lavender softened by apple blossom and wild honey. Dark black currant and amber rest against cashmere woods and sweet musk, creating a fragrance that feels delicate, rainy, and beautifully haunting. Like dog-eared pages read during quiet storms, Melancholic carries the ache of unfinished thoughts, softened memories, and stories that leave traces on the soul long after they end.

CANDLE FAQ:

Are your candles strongly scented?

Our candles are intentionally softly scented. They're designed to create a cozy, subtle ambiance—perfect for small spaces, quiet moments, and scent-sensitive homes. They won’t fill a large room, and that’s by design.

Why does my candle look slightly different than the photo?

Because we use natural beeswax and coconut oil, each candle may have small surface variations like frosting or texture shifts/cracks. These are normal characteristics of natural wax and do not affect performance.

Are your candles safe for scent-sensitive individuals?

Our candles are crafted with pure essential oils and toxin-free fragrance. They're designed to be gentle, but we always recommend testing in a small space if you're sensitive to scents.
