Scent profile
Burn it for: Year-round, from bright afternoons to cozy evenings
White Horse is dark, warm, and a little rough around the edges.
It opens with rich plum brandy, deep and slightly overripe, followed by worn leather, old paper, and the faintest suggestion of ink. There’s a dusty quality underneath it that gives the whole fragrance the feeling of a dimly lit bar long after most people have gone home.
As it burns, patchouli comes through slowly, earthy and grounded, while vanilla cologne softens the edges without turning the scent sweet.
The result is warm, shadowy, and intimate.
Think leather booths, low light, rain outside, half-finished drinks, open notebooks, and conversations that get a little more honest after midnight.
Plum Brandy • Worn Leather • Patchouli • Vanilla Cologne
White Horse is for anyone who likes their candles a little darker, a little bohemian, and far from polished.
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.
