Scent profile
Burn it for: Fall and winter nights, dinner parties, and a bath with the lights low
The Palmer House doesn’t just hold time — it bends it. Step inside and the air shifts: Douglas fir and cypress rise sharp and green, like the forest pressing against the glass. Smoke drifts through the rooms, embers that refuse to fade, carrying with them the weight of memory.
Beneath it all, cedar and earth settle deep into the bones of the house. The scent is warm, grounding, yet touched with the uncanny — as if you’ve been here before, though you can’t say when.
It’s not just a fragrance. It’s the house itself, breathing.
Created exclusively for the Palmer House — a real place with its own atmosphere and history.
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.
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.
Every order is made by hand in and shipped from the West Hills of Portland, OR. Current processing time is 4–5 business days (Mon–Fri) before your order ships.
