Smells like
"A lantern-lit cabin: fir needles, worn leather, and a glass of cognac by the fire."

Scent profile
Burn it for: Fall and winter nights, dinner parties, and a bath with the lights low
The forest breathes in silence. A lantern glows in the window. Lingering smoke holds its secrets.
Sword and Fir Sentinel is built on depth and devotion. Fir needles and pine resin rise first, green and steady, followed by the hush of old pages turned in low light. Tobacco drifts through the air, softened by Leather and Cognac, worn and familiar, like something trusted with time.
At its heart, Sword and Fir Sentinel carries the quiet gravity of Leather and Cognac - warm, contemplative, and grounding. Smoke lingers slowly, never sharp, while timbered earth anchors the fragrance with calm resolve. There is nothing hurried here, only presence.
As the scent settles, Leather and Cognac return again, deepened by resinous woods and a trace of embered warmth. It is a fragrance shaped by restraint and responsibility, where strength is measured and intention matters.
Sword and Fir Sentinel is for those who believe good will always exist—
who speak softly, carry stories, and guard the fire.
A watch kept through the night, sealed in Leather and Cognac.
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.
