Santa Fe Travel Candle

The scent hits this perfect balance of desert air and cozy cabin wood—the piñon comes through strongest, with the wild sage softening it. I keep it on my desk and catch whiffs of that February trip every time I walk by. Burned evenly for about three hours on first light.

I lit this on a cold, windy evening and the wild sage and juniper notes made my little apartment feel like a desert cabin. It burns clean and the scent lingers without being overpowering, exactly the earthy calm I was hoping for.

The orchid cactus and piñon combo smells like the desert after rain, and the juniper keeps it from going too sweet. I lit it while reading and the whole room felt calmer, like I was back on that trip. Burned evenly to the last bit, which I can't always say for travel candles.
