Year of the Fire Horse
Your fire was never the problem. It was always the point. The Year of the Fire Horse was poured for the one who already feels that restless spark stirring beneath the surface, the pull toward something bolder, something more fully yours. This bold, layered fragrance opens with fiery blood orange and warm spice, softens into honeyed plum and creamy cacao, and settles into the quiet strength of cedarwood and balsam. The wooden wick crackles. The scent moves in. And something that was already there gets a little more room to breathe.

THE SCENT
SCIENCE-BACKED AROMACHOLOGY
- Top notes: Blood Orange, Cinnamon Bark, Fresh Nutmeg
- Heart notes: Ginger Snap, Plum Honey, Fir Balsam
- Base notes: Cacao Blanc, Brown Vanilla, Cedarwood
THE AROMACHOLOGY
WHY THIS SCENT WORKS
Blood orange and cinnamon bark open this blend with two of the most activating scents in Aromachology research. Citrus compounds stimulate alertness and elevate mood, while cinnamon has been studied for its ability to increase cognitive performance and ease the kind of mental sluggishness linked to emotional depletion. Ginger in the heart is a known mood amplifier, warming the body and loosening emotional tension held in the chest. Plum honey adds a grounding sweetness that prevents the warmth from tipping into agitation. In the base, cedarwood and brown vanilla bring the nervous system back to center, creating the rare combination of fired-up and fully grounded that makes true courage possible.
THE CRYSTAL
INTENTIONAL ENERGY + PROTECTION
Nestled within every Fire Horse candle is a genuine Fire Quartz crystal, a stone forged from the union of Clear Quartz and Hematite, carrying both amplifying clarity and grounded strength. Fire Quartz is chosen for its long association with focused determination and inner vitality, the kind that doesn't need to announce itself. You won't see it while it burns. It holds its place at the foundation the whole time and is revealed only once the candle has burned all the way down. Think of it as the spark at the bottom, waiting for the one bold enough to burn all the way through and find it.
THE VESSEL
COLOR PSYCHOLOGY + SIGHT
The Year of the Fire Horse is housed in a matte crimson vessel. In color psychology, crimson is the color of deep passion, life force, and unapologetic presence. Unlike softer hues that soothe, crimson activates, stirring warmth and a sense of being fully alive. The matte finish tempers its intensity into something rich and grounded, while an exclusive Fire Horse design engraved into the vessel marks this as a one-of-a-kind seasonal artifact. A symbol of the untamed spirit this candle was made to move alongside.
THE EXTRAS
Included with every candle is a complimentary set of matches and a blank intention card, shaped like a little coaster to rest beneath your candle. Write down a thought you want to carry, a reminder, an intention, a single word, and tuck it under the flame. While the candle burns above it and the crystal waits sealed at the base, your intention stays close, a quiet anchor for whatever you are reaching for.

WOMAN-LED · HANDMADE · ONE OF A KIND
Artisanal CraftsWOMANship
Every Phoenix candle starts and ends with one woman.
Her hands. Her intention. Her belief that what she's making for you matters.
This isn't mass production. It's devotion — poured one candle at a time.
Laser-Engraved
Each vessel and cork lid is individually lasered with its own special touches — no two are ever identical.
Handpicked Crystals
Every crystal is chosen by hand for its energy and beauty, ensuring the one nestled in your candle was meant for you.
Mixed by Hand
Our fragrance oils and soy wax are carefully measured and blended by hand in small batches — never rushed, never automated.
Hand-Poured
Every ounce of scented wax is hand-poured with intention, creating subtle variations that make each candle uniquely yours.
Just like you, no two Phoenix candles are exactly alike — each one carries its own character, its own subtle imperfections, its own quiet beauty. That's not a flaw. That's the point.
Every batch is limited — not as a marketing tactic, but as a promise I make to myself.
I am a woman first. Honoring my own mental health and well-being isn't optional — it's how I show up fully for the work, and for you.
When they sell out, they're gone until the next monthly release. I'd rather make you wait for something made with presence than deliver something made with burnout.
YOUR PRACTICE BEGINS
More Than a Candle. A Different Kind of Practice.
Light the flame. Let the scent arrive first. Let the wooden wick settle into its quiet crackle. Let the crystal beneath the wax hold what you are carrying.
You are enough — this is your moment.
Words From Women Who've Found Their Pause
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 love the smell of my Year of the Fire Horse candle! It fills the room with a delicate smell. As an added bonus I love the fact that it’s handmade, from a woman-owned business.
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!
