SCENT NOTES
Bergamot, lemon, oakmoss, fir, woods, musk
SCENT STORY
There’s a thrill in the unknown - crisp air on your face, sunlight filtering through the trees, and the steady presence of someone who’s been here before. The Explorer is your guide through the wilderness of scent and self: confident, grounded, and ever-curious.
Zesty bergamot and lemon spark the journey with brightness and clarity, like the first steps on a forest path. Fir and oakmoss bring in the heart of the woods - earthy, green, and alive - while rich woods and musk carry you deeper, leaving a trail of strength and quiet assurance.
Masculine yet inviting, bold yet balanced, this scent is for the seeker. Light it when you need direction, courage, or simply the sense that you’re not walking this path alone.

candle care & safety
First burn
On first burn, burn approx. 3-4 hours to reach an almost full wax pool to avoid tunnelling.
Wick Maintenance
- Trim the wick to about 1/4” before each burn to prevent the flame from getting too high.
- For best results, use a long lighter and hold it to the wick for about 5 seconds to properly fuel the flame.
- Remove the dust cover prior to burning, if applicable.
Burning Safety
- Never leave a burning candle unattended
- Extinguish all candles when leaving a room.
- Don’t burn a candle near anything flammable (like clothing, books, or curtains).
- Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
- Keep candles away from drafts, ceiling fans, and air currents.
General Burning Guidelines
- Always place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
- Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time.
- Stop burning when about 1/2 inch of wax remains in the container.
