After a long, snowy Michigan winter, nothing feels more refreshing than the arrival of spring. This season, I wanted our candle collection to capture that sense of renewal—lighter days, fresh air, and the excitement of nature coming back to life. While the start of the year is a traditional time for fresh beginnings, spring has always felt like my true reset.
A Different Take on Spring Scents
Rather than focusing on floral-heavy fragrances, we turned to the green side of spring—garden herbs, fresh citrus, and lush ferns. While there are hints of delicate florals, we blended them carefully to keep the scents fresh and balanced. For example, our European Pear & Petals candle pairs soft florals with bright lemon zest, while Lilac & Mimosa (part of our Timeless Collection, and included in our Candle Club box for spring) is balanced with bold blood orange. This approach keeps our florals airy, playful, and never overpowering.
Behind the Scenes of Scent Development
Developing the perfect candle is an art and a science. Every scent blend goes through extensive testing to ensure it burns evenly and fills a space beautifully. I originally wanted this collection to be more citrus-forward, but citrus-based scents burn hotter, making wick selection a challenge. We test every fragrance across different wick sizes and vessel shapes to ensure a perfect, consistent burn. If a scent doesn’t meet our standards, we won’t release it—no matter how much I love it!
Overcoming Seasonal Challenges
Bringing this collection to life came with its hurdles. One major challenge? Winter weather. Finalizing scents in the dead of winter meant navigating icy conditions just to receive shipments. Our studio sits at the end of a driveway the length of two football fields, making pallet deliveries nearly impossible. Lesson learned: stock up on supplies before the snow arrives next year!
The Mood Behind the Collection
Spring should feel uplifting and peaceful—a reward for making it through the cold months. Each candle in this collection is designed to enhance different moments in your day:
European Pear & Petals – The ultimate hosting candle—fresh, uplifting, and perfect for spring gatherings like Easter brunch.
Petricore & Earthy Moss – A calming scent for focus and productivity—ideal for work-from-home days or stressful meetings.
Wild Bamboo & Lotus Fern – Your go-to self-care candle, perfect for cozy nights in, yoga sessions, or quiet moments of reflection.
Bringing Spring Into Your Home
Pairing candles with daily rituals enhances their impact. Light European Pear & Petals while setting the table for a spring dinner, burn Petricore & Earthy Moss to create a focused workspace, or relax with Wild Bamboo & Lotus Fern for a solo self-care moment. Whatever your routine, these scents are designed to make the season feel even more special.
Spring is here, and we hope this collection fills your home with joy, renewal, and a sense of fresh beginnings. Let us know your favorite way to use these scents!
