Negril Sunset
$18.00
This Island Life candle - NEGRIL SUNSET. You are standing barefoot in the sand, the last of the tide kisses your toes. The sun is low and lazy on the horizon, dipping into the sea like it’s melting. The whole sky turns a fiery orange and pink with streaks of lavender and gold stretching out across the horizon. Everything feels… slower, softer. The sun finally slips beneath the edge, and the sky deepens into that velvet blue of the ocean. No two sunsets are the same but a tropical, beachside one — that’s magic.

Invigorating top notes of bergamot, amaretto, and sea salt welcome you into the essence of NEGRIL SUNSET. Anchored by juniper, delicate musk, and luminous marine accords, this tranquil, atmospheric fragrance unfolds with hints of pineapple, coconut, vanilla, and tonka bean.

Sunday Morning Swim
$18.00

Island Life - SUNDAY MORNING SWIM. Named for a special memory of my dad. Every Sunday morning, my dad and I would head to the beach. He would swim so far out that he would disappear, just a small dot in the distance. The salty scent of the ocean water, fresh and crisp in the air. Just when I thought he wasn’t coming back, the sight of him reappeared in the water. W

Spicy top notes of allspice and rich leather blend into the woody, deep base of sandalwood, amber, and peppercorn. This SUNDAY MORNING SWIM candle has a faint sweetness of sage, rosemary, and chamomile from the soft scent of the beach or the drift of something like sun-ripened fruit carried in the air. The combination of all these elements—the salt, the sand, and the fresh morning dew—creates a natural, pure fragrance that feels refreshing and rejuvenating, the perfect start to a day in the ocean. It’s the kind of smell that clears your mind and helps you focus, like the world is full of possibilities in that quiet, peaceful moment before the sun fully rises and the beach comes alive.

Bourbon Barrel
$18.00

Southern Charme - BOURBON BARREL. The smell of a bourbon barrel is deep, rich, and layered with a sense of history and craftsmanship. It carries a strong, warm aroma that instantly transports you to a place of tradition and aging, where the bourbon inside has slowly matured over time, absorbing the essence of the wood and the process.

The first thing you notice in BOURBON BARREL is the scent of the oak. It is smoky and slightly sweet with deep, rich layer notes of vanilla and caramel. These fragrances are warm and comforting, with the vanilla bringing a smooth, creamy sweetness and the caramel adding a deep, sugary richness. You may also find hints of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or clove, subtly woven into the fragrance.
