A Candle Inspired by Appalachian Night Skies

Slate & Stars is a bold, atmospheric candle that captures the feeling of standing beneath a vast Appalachian sky—where cool night air settles over stone ridgelines and the horizon hums with quiet depth.

This scent leans clean, mineral, and slightly mysterious—layering airy ozone with subtle citrus brightness and grounding it in warm amber and soft musk. It’s both expansive and intimate, like the stillness just after dusk when the mountains go quiet.

Hand-poured in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia using our premium apricot coconut wax, Slate & Stars is designed for those drawn to darker, more refined scents that feel both natural and elevated.

• A reset at the end of the day
