Shell Beach Soy Wax Candle | Blossom & Water Lily

Shell Beach sits in the gap between Jenner and Bodega Bay, hidden on purpose. Tide pools. Rocky shoreline. And just off the Kortum Trail, in the grasses, a hand-cut labyrinth made of stones and shells — built in the late 1990s, kept up by visitors, with a small center where people leave tokens.

This candle is for that walk.

Orange blossom and cotton blossom open it — gentle and salt-touched, blooms catching the sea breeze. Water lily through the middle, floating over the cliffs. Sandalwood at the base, soft and elegant, the kind of finish memory tends to take.

It is the smell of beachcombing and meditation in the same morning. Of a labyrinth built by hand and kept up by strangers. Of a coastline quiet enough to leave something behind in.
