Walnut Ridge Candle

Sage • Oakmoss • Amber

At the bend in the ridge, where the forest floor is softened with moss and the evening air carries cedar and distant woodsmoke, a quiet cabin waits with its hearth aglow.

Walnut Ridge opens with bright citrus and aromatic wild sage before settling into soft mountain lavender, weathered oakmoss, warm amber, and creamy tonka bean. Earthy and refined, it creates the feeling of a cool Blue Ridge evening spent indoors with good company.

Grounded, timeless, and comforting.

Fragrance Notes

The Experience

Light Walnut Ridge when you want your home to feel calm, collected, and quietly inviting. Its earthy oakmoss and sage bring the outdoors inside, while amber and tonka add a smooth warmth that feels especially at home in living rooms, studies, cabins, and reading corners.

This is not a sharp forest fragrance or a heavy cologne scent. It is softened by amber and creamy tonka, creating a balanced mountain-inspired candle that feels natural, familiar, and easy to live with.
