DAMASCENA CANDLE

The rose isn’t shy here—it’s the first thing you notice, and the mandarin keeps it from feeling heavy. Burned it for an hour and my whole hallway smells like a garden that’s just had a warm breeze pass through. Hand-poured is the right call; the melt pool stays even, no tunneling.

The cedarwood really comes through as it burns, warming up the whole scent profile. It's been throwing a steady, even flame for hours without any tunneling, which I appreciate. My bathroom smells like a quiet garden every time I walk in.

The rose and mandarin hit first, but it's the cedarwood that lingers and makes the whole room feel warmer somehow. I've had it burning for a few hours now and the scent stays soft, never overpowering, which is exactly what I wanted for my reading corner.
