8oz candles

the cottage

The Cottage has notes of spruce, musk, amber and vetiver for a cozy and woodsy vibe.Growing up, we spent all of our summers at the cottage. It was the place our families got together and held on to every ounce of joy and sun the unparalleled Nova Scotian summer could give. Almost twenty years later, we're all still doing the same thing - including counting down the days until it's cottage season again.This candle is inspired by our favourite place on Earth, and we hope it reminds you of days by the water, sipping drinks with your friends under the pine trees.

bubbly

Inspired by our favourite drink, Bubbly has notes of champagne, satsuma, and vetiver, making it the perfect fresh and light candle for relaxing with a glass.

secret beach

Every East Coaster's got their favourite beach - this candle is inspired by ours. With notes of bergamot, sage, jasmine, amber, and musk, this scent is designed to bring a relaxing and refreshing ambiance to your home.   When we were kids, our dads found this beach tucked away on the lake we both lived on that nobody owned, and didn't seem to be accessible by land. It had the softest sand, and was sheltered in a peaceful and calm cove. Since that day, we've filled boats with friends, family, and dogs and spent our time swimming and relaxing on this beach - the memories we share from this spot are priceless. While we won't be revealing our secret beach, we hope this scent is able to remind you of sun on your skin and sand in between your toes 🌞

tomato vine

You know that smell on your hands after you pick fresh cherry tomatoes off the vine? Or of the plant itself? We bottled it up and put it in a candle 😉As always, our candles are inspired by our lives and memories, and tomato plants run deep. We both have incredibly important people in our lives who every year would grow (and some still do) tomato plants. While some of the stories may be too personal and sappy for today, this scent is inspired by countless cherished memories in greenhouses and on back decks picking (and eating too many) tomatoes with the people we love.And to the one who can't be here to smell it, here's to you 🥂🌿  We miss you always.
