    Description

    After Dark captures the quiet shift into evening — low light, softened spaces, and the feeling of the day slowly letting go.

    Golden honey opens with a smooth warmth, layered with ripe fig and soft fruit notes that add richness without becoming heavy. As the fragrance settles, vanilla, tonka, and musk create a deeper warmth underneath, bringing a sense of stillness that lingers gently through the space.

    The matching candle and diffuser work together to create a layered, continuous fragrance experience — filling your home with a warm, grounded atmosphere that feels calm, comforting, and quietly inviting throughout the day and into the night.

    Designed in Australia, this gift-ready pack is ideal for evening spaces, slow rituals, and thoughtful gifting.
