Fresh violet leaf and airy florals open with a light, dewy brightness, unfolding into rich peony and white florals that feel full and expressive without being overwhelming. As the scent settles, warm notes of amber, sandalwood, and musk create a smooth, grounding finish that lingers gently in your space.
Hand-finished with real dried flowers, this candle is designed to bring a sense of softness and understated elegance into your home.
A layered floral fragrance that feels fresh, balanced, and effortlessly refined.
