Winter Woods

Winter Woods

Crisp, pine-kissed, and quietly bright
Snow dusts the birch bark. The forest exhales, cool and quiet. A ribbon of minty freshness cuts through the cedarwood air as winter light glows softly through the branches.

WINTER WOODS opens with the sharp brightness of white birch — cool, airy, and unmistakably crisp. It carries the clarity of winter air just after snowfall, clean enough to clear the mind in a single breath. Cedarwood blanc adds warmth beneath the frost, creating contrast between cold air and grounded wood.

Peppermint eucalyptus drifts through the blend like a breath of icy wind, adding an invigorating freshness without tipping into sharpness. The effect is bright but not loud — a winter forest in perfect balance, where the cold awakens rather than overwhelms.

At the heart, cedarwood deepens into warm patchouli, giving the candle its grounding presence. The patchouli here is soft, earthy, and refined — the kind that feels like aged wood rather than incense. Resin and amberwood add warmth beneath the surface, creating a gentle contrast to the airy top notes.

As it burns, Winter Woods softens into a smooth, woody finish, allowing the freshness to linger without fading. It’s a scent for early mornings, quiet nights, and moments when you want to feel awake, clear, and reset. The aroma settles the mind, lifts the breath, and opens the room. Perfect for winter mornings, holiday gatherings, cozy nights in, or anytime you want that “fresh tree” feeling without leaving home.

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.
