I just wanted to take a moment to wish all our friends and customers a very happy holidays and a bright start to 2026!
As ever, I want to thank you all for being here for another year and for letting my fragrances have a place in your lives and in your homes. That was my dream with this and it’s amazing it comes true all the time. I can’t stress enough how grateful I am for all the kindness, support, and love that you show this shop and to this little team of one (and sometimes two). You made this (admittedly a little tough) year brighter than you could know!

I hope your holidays have been and continue to be filled with joy, magic, and a little bit of candlelight.
*hugs*

✨Our “Feyre Archeron” candle has arrived! 👑✨

SCENT NOTES: lilac + anjou pear + fig + green tea + elderflower petals
(Feyre’s canonical scent but deepened and expanded!)
🪻👑
She is available in both 6oz. & 12oz. sizes 🖤

This scent is officially licensed for now and so long as my contract is active ☺️ should things change this scent will simply change up its name to “Queen of the Fae”
🪻👑
A little behind the scenes:
— These photos have probably stolen the top spot as my favorite set I’ve ever done! I am *obsessed.* All flowers and fruits are fresh in these photos—wisteria + ceonothus from our front yard; lilac + chamomile courtsey of Trader Joes 🤭

— The page that’s open in the background is home to one quite famous quote!

“For him there was no universe beyond, for his universe was she, lying before him. Perhaps this was real. Perhaps it wasn’t. But if is a dream he never wants to wake…”
🌻🍃🌷
“Euphoria of Her”

SCENT NOTES: yuzu & autumn fruits + vetiver + hosui pear white tea + leafy gooseberry + atlas cedar + enchanted woodland + sun-drenched dreaming
🌷🍃🌻
This blend is a bright fruity floral with just the right amount of woodsiness. It smells like a daydream! There’s a joy to this scent, brought by the slightly bracing yuzu, that’s balanced by the cloudlike pear-white tea. There’s truly no better way to describe this one than as an attempt to capture bliss.
🌻🍃🌷
