Northern California · Misty Trails & Shadowed Groves
Santal Amber
A quiet fire that smolders beneath the surface.
Some fragrances tell you what they are. Santal Amber doesn’t. It moves through a room slowly, with intention, and waits for you to notice. Creamy. Woody. A little leathered. The kind of warmth that has standing.
This candle is the mood, not the map.
Cedar opens it — clean and grounded, a kind of woodsy clarity. Sandalwood blooms at the heart, creamy and rich, the texture of aged leather and slow-building warmth. Amber and musk at the base, resinous and intimate, the smell of fog-wrapped evenings under redwoods.
It is the smell of a quiet fire. Of a forest at the end of the day, when the light has gone but the warmth hasn’t. Of a candle that doesn’t announce itself — and doesn’t need to.

Incredible scents!! Incredible shop and customer service!!!
The email I sent to the shop yesterday is pasted below:
Hello! I wanted to let you know that my shipment arrived yesterday and I am so delighted because these fragrances capture that feeling I had when I was at Bodega Bay and in West Sonoma. That feeling of freedom and the Sea and the mountains and the Redwoods is something you can't explain but you've captured it in fragrances!! You're an artist!
Fragrance transforms me more than any other sense.
I opened Marine layer first and I wasn't happy but gosh it's grown on me and I love it. I'm delighted that I got it because it captures certain moments of my trip.
Thank you so much and although Bodega Bay and Redwood kiss are my favorites - and I'll be ordering candles soon - I so enjoy exploring what you have. I wish I lived there and I could do a fragrance tasting, if you will.
I'm so thrilled that I peeked into your shop!!!! By the way my hostess is hooked on your fragrances too.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you!
Ps Even the shipping Box smells delicious

Great Gifts - easy for travel.
I gave as gift to my friends. They love them. I have a larger one that fills the room with the most delightful scent. I will make sure I shop there again when I return to the Bodega Bay Area.
