Scent profile
Burn it for: Fall and winter nights, dinner parties, and a bath with the lights low
Our Cardigan Candle is comfort rendered slowly - warmth that gathers rather than announces.
It opens with toasted almonds and cardamom, nutty and gently spiced, creating an immediate sense of ease. Smoky vanilla follows close behind, soft and enveloping, never sweet, carrying the impression of warmth worn close. From the first light, the Cardigan Candle feels familiar - steady, grounded, and reassuring.
As it burns, cinnamon drifts through the heart, subtle and restrained, joined by the faint floral hush of tea rose. The balance remains delicate, allowing spice and softness to coexist without pulling focus. With Cardigan, nothing rushes forward; everything settles in its own time.
The base lingers in quiet smoke and softened vanilla, leaving the room wrapped in a low, steady warmth. When our Cardigan Candle fills a space, it feels lived-in rather than styled - a presence meant to stay rather than impress.
This is a candle for long evenings, early mornings, and every season in between. Cardigan doesn’t chase atmosphere. It creates it.
Cardigan Candle Notes Below.
4 oz: a sweet way to try a new scent, and great for bathrooms and desks. 8 oz: the everyday favorite for bedrooms and offices. 16 oz: made for living rooms and open spaces, and the best value per ounce.
On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edge (about 1 hour per inch of width). This prevents tunneling and gives you the strongest scent throw. Trim the wick before every burn (about 1/4 inch for cotton wicks, 1/8 inch for wood wicks), and burn no more than 4 hours at a time.
