Some candles are named after a scent. Ours are named after a feeling.
Empowerment is one of our two most-loved candles. Here's what's in it, and why we chose each note.
First, what is Aromachology?
Aromachology is the study of how scent connects to mood and emotion. It's a close cousin of aromatherapy, which focuses more on the body. Aromachology asks a simpler question: how does a smell make you feel?
Scent travels a shorter path to the brain's emotion and memory centers than our other senses do. That's why one breath of something familiar can take you back years.
The notes in Empowerment
Bergamot. A bright, slightly floral citrus. Bergamot has been studied for its link to a lighter, steadier mood.
Mint leaf. Cool and crisp. Mint is one of the most studied scents in Aromachology, and research often links it to alertness and focus.
Eucalyptus. Green and clean. It's the scent many people connect with clear air and an open window.
Underneath, a little basil and soft green moss round it out.
Together, they make a blend that smells crisp, clear, and awake.
More than a scent
Every candle we make is designed around four senses, not one.
- Sound. A wooden wick that crackles softly as it burns.
- Color. A matte cloud blue vessel. Blue is a color often associated with calm and steadiness.
- Crystal. A genuine Sodalite sealed beneath the wax. Sodalite is traditionally associated with clarity and speaking your mind.
Who it's for
Empowerment isn't about becoming someone new. It's for the one who's already doing hard things, often without much credit.
It won't fix the week. It keeps you company through it. That's what we mean when we say our candles work alongside you.
What we claim, and what we don't
We build our blends on notes that research has associated with specific moods. We haven't put our candles through clinical trials, and we won't pretend we have.
The science is where we start. The intention is ours.
