Nature smells great. Why mess with that?

We're a small studio making natural, fresh, wild-smelling candles in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Unlike virtually all other candle companies, we refuse to use weird artificial fragrance chemicals; we scent our candles exclusively with plants, in the form of aromatherapy-grade essential oils.

Why we're different

Shop our candles

Our candles are strictly scented using plants.


Our scents smell like a rain-soaked forest, or a scruffy, sagebrush-lined desert trail. Some even give off a "wet pile of leaves" vibe.

This is possible because of steam-distilled essential oils, which capture a snapshot of the exact smells found in nature.

We refuse to use "fragrance oils".


It's likely that every candle you've ever smelled heavily features artificial fragrance oils, even candles with natural-sounding titles.

Like anything else industrial, candle companies use them because they're extremely cheap, and hold up well during mass production.

Gathering and processing raw, botanical plant matter isn't as scalable, but for us, "scalable" isn't something we want to stick our noses in (or spark up in our homes).

Great ingredients require great care.


Plant essences are delicate and require careful handling and attention. Our candles are methodically hand-made in batches of four.

They're cured for a minimum of 4 weeks before being wrapped in a Japanese-style washi paper, boxed, and delivered.

It's a lot of work, but based on the results, we know it's worth it.
