The Hoh Rainforest is one of my favorite places on earth, and one of the places I escape to whenever I get the chance.
There’s something about being there that makes everything else feel very far away. The enormous spruce and cedar, moss hanging from every surface, wet earth underfoot, and that impossibly green light that seems to filter through the whole forest. Even when other people are around, it can feel completely still.
I wanted this candle to smell like that.
Cool forest air, rain-soaked cedar and spruce, damp moss and earth, with just a touch of soft wildflower tucked into all that green. Not a generic “woods” scent, but my version of walking into the Hoh after the rain, when everything is wet and alive and the forest seems to breathe around you.
If you’ve been there, I hope it takes you back.
And if you haven’t, consider this your little escape to one of the most beautiful corners of the Pacific Northwest.
4 oz | 118 mL: a sweet way to try a new scent, and great for bathrooms and desks. 8 oz | 237 mL: the everyday favorite for bedrooms and offices. 16 oz | 473 mL: 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 1/8 inch for our wood wicks), and burn no more than 4 hours at a time.
Every order of $65 or more gets a surprise sample, hand-picked by us from our fragrance library. You don't choose it. That's half the fun, and it's how many customers find their next favorite.
