Sweet Serenity

Some fragrances announce themselves; Sweet Serenity does the opposite. It opens with cherry blossom and bergamot — bright, clean, just a little green — before settling into a heart of magnolia, peony, and freesia that feels like a well-lit room in early spring. The base is amber with a faint powdery trace, the kind that lingers after everything else has quieted. Restrained and graceful, this is a candle for reading rooms, bedrooms, or anywhere you want something present but not insistent.

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.
