Campfire Stories — Fall Collection Spotlight
The fire's been going for hours. Nobody's keeping track anymore.
It started as a proper fire — stacked and tended and purposeful. But that was a while ago. Now it's coals mostly, orange and patient, the kind of fire that doesn't need anything from you. Someone brought marshmallows out earlier and the bag is still sitting on the arm of a chair. The conversation slowed down the way good conversations do, into the comfortable kind of quiet where nobody feels the need to fill it.
The smoke is in your jacket. You'll smell it tomorrow and not mind at all.
The Wax
Hand-poured in small batches in Iowa, using a natural soy wax blend. Clean melt, steady fragrance release.
The Scent
Vanilla and amber are what you notice first — warm and easy, nothing sharp about them. This is the fire when it's still new and giving off real heat, before the evening settles in around it. There's a comfort to the opening that doesn't ask anything of you.
Sugar and sandalwood come through in the middle as things quiet down. The sweetness is present but grounded — sandalwood keeps it honest, keeps it from tipping into something that would feel out of place in the open air. It's the kind of middle note you feel as much as smell.
Then cedar and clove move in underneath, and that's when it becomes something else entirely. The smokiness that clings to everything by the end of the night. The part you carry home without meaning to. Cedarwood oil gives it an authenticity that most fireside scents don't come close to — real wood smoke rather than a synthetic approximation of it.
Top: Vanilla, Amber
Middle: Sugar, Sandalwood

Best Used In
Bedrooms, living rooms, and covered porches — anywhere the evening is meant to slow down and stay that way. Best in small to medium spaces where the warmth can settle in and hold.
