Orchard After Dark

Orchard After Dark

Smoky, velvety, and quietly floral
A breeze moves through the orchard, carrying plum skin, cedar smoke, and the faint hum of night flowers opening into darkness. The air tastes like warmth drifting into shadow.

ORCHARD AFTER DARK unfurls like a story told in whispers. It begins with black orchid and bitter plum — dark, ripe, and shadowed — the kind of night-blooming sweetness that hangs low in the air when dusk sinks fully into the earth. There is warmth here, but also mystery, something soft and unspoken curling just beyond reach.

Amber noir deepens the heart, bringing a sultry glow that diffuses into smoked cedar and night-bloom florals. It’s a scent that lingers at the edges, inviting you to lean in without ever fully revealing itself. As the fragrance settles, smoked oud and resin create a textured, atmospheric base — moody, grounded, and steeped in warmth.

This is a candle for evenings when you crave stillness with depth — when you want the world to dim just enough that your thoughts begin to soften. It offers comfort without sweetness, sensuality without weight, and quiet without emptiness. Orchard After Dark holds space for reflection, for wandering thoughts, for letting the night feel safe around you.

A moody, velvet floral with dark orchard fruit, amber smoke, and smoked cedar. Orchard After Dark feels like a quiet night walk beneath heavy blossoms and warm shadows — lush, intimate, and slow. Perfect for evening baths, slow music, date nights, or anytime you want your space to feel a little more romantic and cocooned.

Ingredients

Clean Soy and Coconut Wax Blends

We only use plant-based clean burning waxes sourced from trusted U.S. suppliers.

Soy Blend
Our proprietary soy blend is fully vegan and designed for a stronger, more noticeable scent throw. It’s formulated with organic, vegan, plant-based additives that improve scent performance, stability, and consistency while maintaining a clean, steady burn and smooth melt pool.

Coconut Blend
Our coconut blend is also fully vegan and known for its smooth, creamy finish and even burn. Its scent presence is intentionally softer - calm, balanced, and designed to stay close to the space rather than fill it.

Both blends are made for clean, consistent performance from the first burn to the last.

Phthalate-Free, IFRA-Certified Fragrance Oils
All of our scents are made with premium fragrance oils from reputable U.S. manufacturers. Every fragrance is phthalate-free and IFRA certified, meeting international safety standards for clean, responsible use in the home. Each scent is developed to feel comfortable in everyday living spaces without compromising air quality.

Cotton Wick
Our candles use a high-quality cotton wick with paper filaments for a steady flame and low soot. The wick is lead-free, zinc-free, and selected to perform reliably with both wax blends.

What We Leave Out
We keep our formulas intentional and avoid ingredients commonly used to force performance or alter burn behavior.

  • No paraffin or petroleum-based waxes
  • No artificial dyes or colorants
  • No metal-core wicks
  • No phthalates
  • No vybar or synthetic fragrance binders
  • No stearic acid
  • No paraffin-based hardeners
  • No polymer resins or plasticizers
  • No UV inhibitors or chemical stabilizers
  • No fillers used to bulk up wax or mask formulation issues

Every ingredient we use earns its place. If it doesn’t support a clean burn or a calm home, it’s left out.

Use & Care

Candle Care

  • Trim the wick to about ¼ inch before each burn to keep the flame steady and the burn clean.
  • Let the wax melt all the way to the edges on the first burn (about 2–3 hours). This helps prevent tunneling later.
  • Burn for up to 4 hours at a time for the best performance.
  • Stop burning when about ¼ inch of wax remains at the bottom of the jar.

Candle Safety

  • Place candles on a stable, heat-safe surface.
  • Keep away from drafts, vents, curtains, pets, and anything that could catch.
  • Never leave a burning candle unattended or within reach of children.
  • Avoid moving the candle while it’s burning — the glass will be hot.
  • Keep the wax surface clear of matches, wick trimmings, or other debris.
  • If the flame becomes too tall or flickers excessively, extinguish the candle, trim the wick, and relight.
  • Burn candles only in well-ventilated spaces.
