Bourbonwood, Cedar, Tobacco & Whiskey
An Old Tale of Toxic Masculinity
Vanity never smelled so good.
Inspired by The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Portrait captures the seductive darkness of unchecked indulgence. With a rich blend of bourbonwood, cedar, tobacco, and whiskey, this candle exudes old-world charm with a sinister edge.
Hand-poured with a natural coconut wax blend, it offers a clean burn and a scent that lingers like a secret behind a gilded frame. Perfect for lovers of classic literature, dark aesthetics, and rooms that smell as brooding as they look.
Hauntingly handmade with:
- Sustainable coconut wax blend (beeswax added in summer).
- Lead/zinc-free cotton or wood wicks.
- Phthalate-free fragrance oils.
- Frosted, colored, clear glass jars, or black aluminum tins.
