GRATITUDE | CELEBRATION | SUCCESS | HAPPINESS

PALO SANTO | CEDAR | SANDALWOOD | SAGE | WARM BERRIES

This Candle was inspired by the time spent on Lawrence’s reserve, Siksika Nation. A deeply, profoundly powerful place. A place so ancient and so wise it rattles your very bones. You will never be the same after Siksika.

This Candle is the scent of Ceremony, of celebration, of gratitude, of Tradition. Of sage, sweetgrass, smoke. Of sweet juicy berries and sun warmed Wild Roses.

The Blackfoot are Children of the Prairies, and we wanted to create a candle which took us back to an evening spent picking Siksika Sweetgrass. We could hear the sound of the burbling river beside us and coyotes howling in the distance as the sky darkened to purple and the stars began to show in the sky. Wild horses came to visit us as we silently picked the sweet, earthy sweetgrass and enjoyed the beauty of just being.

Charred Cedar and Palo Santo give a rich, sweetly smoky scent to this unique and beautiful candle. Grounding the wild vanilla, warmly fragrant sandalwood and sensual Oud. Middle notes of Tobacco leaf and clove blend into the woodsy, deep base of sandalwood, cedar, amber and peppercorn. 

Rich, spicy Olbanum mingles with top notes of wild rose, iris, and wild berries. Sun warmed Golden Honey ties them all together in an enchanting and beautiful scent.
