In collaboration with local artists, Uncommon Scents and Holly H. Janssen Art, we’re excited to announce The Montana Nature Series - a collection of three hand-poured soy candles inspired by Montana’s natural wonders.
Meet the Collection
Inspired by the iconic, awe-inspiring places of our valley, the artwork and scent of each candle were thoughtfully created to evoke a memory: Learning to fish on the Gallatin River with a grandparent, the first ascent up Beehive Basin in June, and the deep inhale at the summit of Lone Peak - we hope you feel that moment each time you light your candle.
Mountain Air: Inspired by the crisp summit breeze. The deep breath after a long trek to the top. The feeling of expansive open spaces, views from one peak to another, and the beginning of a fresh start.
Top notes: Bergamot, mandarin leaf, fig
Middle notes: Jasmine, geranium fresh rose, lily
Base: Musk, woodsy
Rushing Headwaters: Inspired by mornings on the river and the moment when the summer sun starts to burn off the morning chill - our local Headwaters is the convergence of the Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers to form the Missouri River.
Notes: Bergamot, mandarin, lemon, iris, jasmine, leather, patchouli, oakwood and musk.
Montana Wildflower: Inspired by meadows in bloom. The long-anticipated moment when the trails are covered in new blooms, looking like a painting, and all you feel is gratitude for being surrounded by such beauty.
Top notes: Tangerine, peach
Middle notes: Freesia, lilac and jasmine
Base: Powder, vetiver, sandalwood, and light musk
