Washington D.C. Candle

The cedarwood and leather-like vetiver come through so clearly, it really does smell like a cozy library in spring. Love how the orange keeps it from being too heavy—my whole apartment feels warm and sophisticated.

The moss and cherry blossom hit you first, exactly like walking past the Tidal Basin in spring. Burns evenly with a surprisingly strong throw for a candle its size.

The cedarwood and orange finish gives this candle such a warm, sophisticated scent—it reminds me of walking past the Library of Congress on a spring afternoon. The moss and cherry blossom notes are subtle but present, making it feel balanced rather than overpowering. Burns cleanly with a nice, even melt pool.

I lit this while organizing my home office and the leather-and-cedar notes gave the room a cozy, bookish vibe. The orange finish is subtle but cuts through nicely without being too sweet. It burns evenly, too—no tunneling after a few hours.

The moss and cherry blossom blend actually smells like standing near the Tidal Basin in spring—unexpectedly authentic. The leather and orange finish brings a nice warmth that lingers without being overpowering.

The cedar and sandalwood balance perfectly with that zesty orange finish—it’s like walking through D.C. in spring without the crowds. I’ve got it on my desk and the cherry blossom note really comes through after it burns for a bit.
