Monte Rio Soy Wax Candle | Mint, Sage & Spice

Monte Rio has been a getaway for a hundred and fifty years. San Franciscans started arriving by train in the 1870s — they called it the Vacation Wonderland — and the redwoods have been holding that reputation ever since.

Monte Rio the candle is the forest they came for.

Ozonic notes open it — cool and fresh, the scent of air that just moved. Mint runs through, a small brightness, the feeling of water nearby. Sage and cypress through the middle, herbal and woodsy, the particular green of the redwoods around Monte Rio. Warming spices at the base, a slow low heat, the embers of a long-standing retreat.

It is the smell of a forest that has welcomed people for over a century. Of the train that used to arrive. Of the redwoods that greeted it and still do.
