Love Letter
It’s the scent of a 1940s kind of love.
Delicate florals of white rose and pink peony combine with the complexity of labdanum and musk to provide a scent reminiscent of vintage love. Made with 100% non-toxic soy wax and essential oils with mood-boosting properties, this luxury scent smells like passion, character, and quiet evenings writing love letters by candle light. The 7oz blush pink vessel is made of sturdy depression-style glass that can be reused to pot fresh flowers, plants, or as a small jewelry holder. See below for the story about this candle and real photos of letters my grandparents wrote to each other during World War II.

This candle is an ode to vintage love— the kind my grandparents had in 1942, with handwritten letters from young lovers separated by war. The pictures of handwritten letters above are pictures of the letters my DeDe and Papa wrote to each other every night by candle light.We don’t have the perspective of war anymore— its generations removed. The sense that at any moment, our first love could be taken from us. We don’t have the urgency, the clarity, the romance. But my grandmother did. An adult child of the great depression, my grandpa left at 20 to fight in World War 2, leaving her pregnant with their first daughter. They had a once in a lifetime kind of love– dancing in the kitchen, fresh flowers always on the table, long good-byes. And when Papa was fighting...they wrote letters every day. Forget the apps and the options and sliding into DMs. I want a love letter. Something I can hold with my hands.
