Date Night

Date Night opens with peppercorn and cardamom — sharp, warm, immediately present — lifted by bergamot and a thread of saffron. The heart deepens into incense and patchouli, with vetiver and tobacco adding smoke and weight without tipping into heaviness. At the base, amber, sandalwood, and a soft musk provide the long, settled trail this kind of fragrance needs. Complex without being difficult. Best lit in the evening, when the light is low and there's no reason to rush.

Hand-poured in Sarasota, Florida in small batches. Wax blend: soy-coconut. Wick: cotton-core. Net weight: 8 oz. Estimated burn time: 45–55 hours. Vessel: reusable glass tumbler — clean with warm soapy water once the candle is spent. Free of paraffin, phthalates, and parabens. Every batch is made in small quantities, which means minor variation between pours is part of the craft.

Trim the wick to ¼ inch before every burn. On the first burn, allow the wax to reach a full melt pool — typically 2 to 3 hours — to prevent tunneling. Keep away from drafts, pets, and children. Never burn unattended. Discontinue use when ¼ inch of wax remains.
