The Aromachology

Aromachology is the study of how scent connects to mood and emotion. This blend is built on notes research has associated with a sense of calm.

Bergamot is one of the most studied citrus scents in Aromachology, linked to a steadier mood and feeling less tense. Lavender is associated with rest, and sandalwood, one of the most studied woods in Aromachology, has been associated with calm. White musk keeps the whole blend soft and clean.

The research is real. The intention behind every choice we make with it is ours.

The Vessel

The 7 oz comes in frosted white glass, which spreads the candlelight into an even, soft glow. The 12 oz comes in matte ivory, which diffuses the light so it stays warm and low. In color psychology, soft neutrals like these are associated with calm and a clean slate.

Both are reusable, and recyclable when you’re done with them.

WHAT OUR COMMUNITY SAYS

I absolutely loved the Intuition candle the moment I lit it. My home was filled with the most calming and refreshing scent. The wooden wick created the most relaxing crackling sound, almost like a tiny fireplace, which makes the whole experience feel cozy especially living in upstate NY with the brutal cold weather. The quality is amazing—it burns cleanly, lasts a long time, and the packaging is beautiful. You can tell a lot of care went into making it. If you’re looking for a candle that smells incredible, this one is definitely worth it!

I love this handmade candle—the scent is beautiful and it burns so cleanly, filling the room without being overpowering. Even better, it’s from a woman-owned small business, which makes supporting it feel extra special.

I recently purchased the Hope candle and couldn’t be happier with it. The scent is absolutely wonderful—clean, calming, and perfect for creating a peaceful atmosphere at home. It burns evenly and lasts a long time, which really makes it feel worth the price. I also appreciate that it’s environmentally friendly, which is important to me when choosing products for my home. On top of that, the customer service was exceptional—friendly, responsive, and clearly committed to making sure customers are satisfied. Overall, the Hope candle is well worth the money. If you’re looking for a long-lasting, beautifully scented candle that helps create a relaxing environment, this one is a fantastic choice.

I found the Phoenix Candle line via Instagram and bought one for myself. What a beautiful product! The scent was soothing, I loved the wooden wick and it also burned slowly so I had longer to enjoy it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an inviting and decadent retreat from every day life...

I purchased a few candles to gift out for the holidays and was immediately obsessed! My friends loved them and were surprised by how clean, fragrant, and long-lasting they are! I also love how each candle has its own intention. Intuition was definitely my favorite. PLUS this is a woman-owned brand everything is handmade…I will be purchasing more!
