THE COURTiNG BENCH

"Where Love is Whispered, Carved, and Never Forgotten"

A bench by the lake, carved with old initials, steeped in whispers of love that never faded—only waited. Tucked beneath the sprawling arms of an ancient oak, where the water shimmers under moonlight and fireflies dance in the hush of summer, there sits a courting bench worn smooth by time. Built long ago by a man who loved a girl he could never have, the bench remains—listening to young lovers, carrying their whispered promises, and holding the warmth of hands once intertwined.

Some say that if two people sit close enough beneath the moon, the air turns warmer, the wind settles, and the lake stills—as if the bench itself is giving its blessing, hoping this time, love will stay.

Scent Profile:

Pear & Agave – A fresh, delicate opening, like a gentle breeze rustling through the trees, carrying the memory of a love once promised.

Rose, Marine & Cherry Blossom – A soft, romantic heart, like the lingering scent of blossoms along the lake, mingling with the cool, drifting mist of the water.

Powder, Dark Musk & Amber – A deep, warm finish, reminiscent of weathered wood, faded letters, and love that lingers in the quiet spaces between moments.

The Experience:
As this candle burns, it evokes the timeless romance of the lake’s courting bench, where old love never fades and new love finds its way. The fresh, floral notes soften into a warm musk, wrapping the space in nostalgia, longing, and the quiet magic of a summer night meant for two.

Perfect for:

  Those who love soft, romantic scents with a touch of nostalgia

  Creating an intimate, cozy atmosphere for quiet reflection or connection

  A scent that feels like a love story held in the grain of an old wooden bench

Light the flame, sit close, and let the courting bench work its quiet magic.

THE BRiDE

"Grace in Her Steps, Love in Her Heart, Forever in Her Hands"

A love as steady as the mountains, a promise whispered in the wind. In the heart of Appalachia, where wildflowers bloom along winding trails and the mountains stand as silent witnesses, a bride walks toward her future. Her dress is simple but stitched with love, her boots sturdy for the life ahead. The scent of fresh apple blossoms and wild roses drifts through the warm summer air as she steps beneath an arch of mountain laurel, where vows are exchanged not just between hearts, but with the land itself.

They say an Appalachian bride carries more than a bouquet—she carries tradition, strength, and the quiet magic of generations before her. Whether beneath the wide-open sky or in the glow of a candlelit chapel, her love is woven into the earth, timeless as the ridgelines, endless as the rolling mist.

Scent Profile:

Light Apple – A fresh, delicate opening, like the crisp scent of orchard blossoms drifting through an open cabin window.

Rose, Carnation & Jasmine – A romantic heart, filled with the soft florals of a handpicked bridal bouquet, carried gently down an old wooden aisle.

Suede, Musk, Wood & Patchouli Oil – A warm, grounding base, like the smooth touch of a worn lace ribbon, the strength of a mountain cabin, and the deep-rooted love that stands the test of time.

The Experience:
As this candle burns, it wraps the room in the quiet elegance of an Appalachian bride, capturing the scent of fresh blooms, soft fabric, and the earth beneath her feet. It is both wild and refined, delicate yet enduring, just like the love stories written in the hollers and hills.

Perfect for:

   Those drawn to romantic, floral scents with an earthy depth

   Creating a space filled with warmth, love, and nostalgia

   A scent that feels like a bridal veil catching the wind on a mountain ridge, woven with love and wild beauty

Light the flame, let the past and present intertwine, and breathe in the scent of a love story meant to last a lifetime.

THE GROOM

"Steady as the Mountains, True as His Vow"

Steady as the hills, bold as the river, and bound by love as strong as the land. An Appalachian groom carries more than his vows—he carries legacy, devotion, and the quiet promise of forever. His suit may be a well-worn coat passed down through generations, his boots dusted with the same earth where his ancestors once stood. As he waits beneath the mountain laurel arch, the scent of wild plum and fresh citrus lingers in the air, mingling with the deep warmth of amber and musk.

Some say a mountain man’s love is as steady as the ridge-lines, built not on fleeting words but on a lifetime of quiet devotion. He speaks less but loves deeply, his presence like the deep woods at dusk—strong, grounding, and filled with unspoken stories.

Scent Profile:

Plum & Citrus – A fresh, bold opening, like the crisp mountain air before sunrise, tinged with the sweetness of orchard fruit and sun-warmed citrus.

Amber & Jasmine – A smooth, golden heart, rich with the warmth of evening light settling over the hills, as steady and familiar as the touch of a well-worn hand.

Dark Musk, Amyris & Benzoin – A deep, grounding base, like the rugged scent of weathered wood, soft leather, and the lingering strength of a promise kept.

The Experience:
As this candle burns, it captures the quiet strength of an Appalachian groom, where love is built like a cabin—crafted with patience, bound with care, and made to last a lifetime. The rich plum and citrus notes bring brightness, while the deep amber and musk settle like the weight of a vow meant to endure.

Perfect for:

   Those drawn to bold yet comforting, warm, and grounded scents

   Creating a space filled with strength, devotion, and quiet confidence

   A scent that feels like a groom standing at the altar, heart steady, hands strong, love everlasting

Light the flame, breathe deep, and step into the warmth of a love built to last.



 

THE WEDDiNG

"Love as Endless as the Mountains, a Promise as Sweet as the Air"

A love as wild as the hills, a vow carried on the mountain breeze. In the heart of Appalachia, where the mist lingers in the valleys and wildflowers bloom along winding dirt paths, weddings are more than ceremonies—they are promises woven into the land itself. Beneath the arching branches of mountain laurel, a bride and groom stand hand in hand, the scent of fresh peaches, blooming cherry blossoms, and soft vanilla drifting through the warm afternoon air.

The mountains have seen generations of laughter, love, and whispered "I do’s", bearing witness to unions built on hard work, quiet devotion, and the kind of love that endures like the ridgelines themselves. As fireflies begin their slow dance at dusk and the sounds of a fiddle hum through the trees, the celebration begins—filled with joy, kinship, and the warmth of a love meant to last forever.

Scent Profile:

Peach, Grapefruit & Apple – A fresh, lively opening, like the golden glow of sunlight spilling over a mountain meadow, filled with orchard fruit and sweet anticipation.

Cherry Blossom & Hydrangea – A soft, romantic heart, reminiscent of hand-tied bouquets, wildflowers gathered along the trails, and the delicate florals woven into a bride’s hair.

Powder & Vanilla – A warm, comforting base, like the scent of lace ribbons, heirloom wedding quilts, and love letters tucked away for safekeeping.

The Experience:
As this candle burns, it captures the quiet magic of a mountain wedding, where the air is sweet with blossoms, the wind carries laughter across the hills, and love is as timeless as the land itself. The bright fruit notes bring joy, the florals add romance, and the soft vanilla and powder wrap it all in the warmth of a love story just beginning.

Perfect for:

   Those who love romantic, airy scents with a touch of nostalgia

   Creating a soft, joyful atmosphere filled with love and warmth

   A scent that feels like wedding bells echoing through the hills, the first dance beneath the stars, and a love as endless as the mountains

Light the flame, step into the meadow, and let the mountains bless your love.

THE CAKE

"The Wedding Cake – A Slice of Love, a Taste of Forever."

A sweet beginning, a love to savor, a moment that lingers like the last bite of something unforgettable. There’s something timeless about a wedding cake, more than just layers of sweetness—it’s a symbol of joy, of shared love, of a promise meant to last. In mountain weddings, cakes aren’t just made, they’re crafted with love, often from handwritten recipes passed down through generations. The scent of buttery layers, rich vanilla, and whipped sweet cream fills the air as family gathers, laughter spills across long wooden tables, and a couple shares their first bite as husband and wife.

Some say that whoever gets the bigger piece will be the one to love more, but in the end, love isn’t measured—it’s simply felt, warm and true, just like the lingering sweetness of a perfect wedding day.

Scent Profile:

Buttery Top Notes – A warm, golden opening, like the scent of freshly baked cake cooling on the counter, rich and inviting.

Vanilla Base Notes – A soft, comforting finish, like the lasting warmth of love and laughter, wrapped in the sweet embrace of tradition.

As this candle burns, it fills the air with the soft, dreamy scent of wedding day sweetness, where every flicker feels like a slice of happiness, a moment of celebration, and a love story in the making.

Perfect for:

  Those who love warm, gourmand scents that feel like home and happiness

  Creating a cozy, romantic atmosphere reminiscent of love and tradition

  A scent that feels like the joy of cutting the first slice, the sweetness of shared laughter, and the simple magic of love that lasts

Light the flame, savor the moment, and let love linger long after the last bite.
