A Botanical Candle for Dreaming, Devotion + the Moon

Where flowers awaken after dark. Intoxicating Night-Blooming Jasmine unfolds beneath the moonlight, entwined with warm Sandalwood and the sacred, woody notes of Palo Santo. A lush, sensual ode to the mysteries of the night garden.

Night-blooming jasmine has long been called Queen of the Night. She keeps her petals closed through the heat of the day and opens only after dusk, releasing her honeyed perfume for those who linger in the dark. We made this candle for the hours after dark: for dreaming, devotion, intimacy and the moon. Jasmine opens the heart and the dreaming mind, sandalwood brings the stillness of the temple, and palo santo blesses the space with its sweet, sacred smoke. It’s an invitation to soften, surrender to the dark, and let your dreams unfold.

Key Botanicals + Traditional Uses

  • Night-Blooming Jasmine (Cestrum nocturnum): Native to the Caribbean and Central America, its flowers open only at night. Traditionally associated with the moon, dreams, romance, attraction, intuition, and beauty that reveals itself in darkness.
  • Sandalwood (Australia): Used for centuries in temples, meditation and prayer. Revered for bringing stillness, devotion, spiritual focus and a sense of the sacred.
  • Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens): “Holy wood” in Spanish. Traditionally burned to clear and bless a space, invite good energy, and accompany ceremony.
  • Scented primarily with pure artisan essential oils, complemented by a small percentage of fine fragrance to enhance each botanical blend.

Invitations for Use

  • Awakens the senses, honors the mystery of darkness, invites sensuality and inner unfolding.
  • A flame for the unseen and the becoming. Light as day gives way to night, when the world softens and the senses awaken to the beauty of what blooms in darkness.
  • Like the night-blooming jasmine, we are not meant to flower on anyone else’s schedule. Let this candle be a reminder that there is wisdom in the unseen, beauty in the unknown, and power in allowing yourself to unfold in your own time.

PURELY BOTANICAL

Every note in this candle comes from the plants themselves. We scent our candles only with pure essential oils, never synthetic fragrance, so what you smell is the true character of jasmine, sandalwood, and palo santo, layered and alive the way nature made them. Our wax is a blend of soy, coconut, and beeswax, free of paraffin and phthalates, for a cleaner, slower burn. It’s a candle made the way an herbalist would make it: simply, intentionally, and with deep respect for the plants.

BURN WITH CARE AND INTENTION
  • On the first burn, let the wax melt fully to the edges (about 2–3 hours) to prevent tunneling.
  • Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each lighting.
  • Burn no more than 4 hours at a time.
  • Keep away from drafts, flammable objects, children, and pets.
  • Stop burning when ½ inch of wax remains.
  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.

The Queen & The Forest

THE CANDLE DUO

From dusk to dawn, two candles made for each other. Queen of the Night is the garden at midnight: night-blooming jasmine, sandalwood and palo santo to open the heart, awaken desire and stir your dreams. FOR-REST is the forest at daybreak: pine, cedar, juniper, cypress and hemlock to ground the body, clear your head and steady you for what lies ahead. One blooms. One roots. Light the Queen as the sun goes down and the Forest as you wake. Together they hold both sides of the cycle: surrender and strength, mystery and renewal. A ritual pair for the threshold hours, and a gift for anyone drawn to the moonlit garden, the ancient woods, or the magic between them.

Two 7.25 oz candles. Pure essential oils in a soy, coconut and beeswax blend. Paraffin, phthalate and paraben free. Hand-poured in Brooklyn.
