Three winter candles, three different moods, one keepable box. Haute Cocoa for when people come over. Sage and Pomegranate for Tuesday nights when nothing particular is happening. Winter Forest for when you want your apartment to smell like you went somewhere you didn't actually go. Hand-poured in Owings Mills with American soy wax and cotton wicks, 4oz each, about twenty hours of burn.
You know that moment in December when you walk into someone's house and it just smells right? Not like a department store. Not like artificial pine spray. Like actual winter.
This is three candles that get lit. All of them. The chocolate one when people come over. The sage and pomegranate one on a Tuesday night when you're just sitting on the couch. The forest one when you want your apartment to smell like you went somewhere you didn't actually go.
They come in a box with artwork inspired by Baltimore artist Annie Howe's design she made for our original Hey Honey box—something you'd want to keep on your shelf even after the candles are gone. People notice the box. Some of them ask where you got it before they even ask what's inside.
Made with American soy wax in Owings Mills. Cotton wicks that don't smoke up your ceiling. Each one burns for about 20 hours, which is longer than you'd think for a 4oz candle.
Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn. Let the wax pool reach the edges on the first light—takes about 2 hours—so it burns evenly every time after. Don't blow them out. Use a wick dipper or just wave your hand over the flame. Less smoke that way.

Mini-Luxe is a smaller version of our full-size Luxe candle. Same dark glass styling, same hand-poured American soy wax, same cotton wick, just at 4oz with about 20 hours of burn time. For reference: Luxe is 10oz with 75 hours, Jelly Jar is 6oz with 30 hours. Mini-Luxe sits between a sampler and a full burn, which makes it ideal for gift sets where you want three distinct scents without committing to three full-size jars. The scent throw is the same, just for fewer total hours.
The box is part of the gift, not just packaging that ships the products. Our box designs trace back to Baltimore papercut artist Annie Howe's original artwork for our Hey Honey set: bees, hives, and botanicals cut with precision. People keep these boxes long after the contents are gone, on bathroom counters holding hair ties, on desks corralling paperclips, in junk drawers proving even storage can be beautiful. It's not packaging that gets recycled. It's part of the gift.
Three winter scents that cover three different moods. Haute Cocoa for hosting, the one that makes guests ask "what is that smell?" Sage and Pomegranate for regular evenings, herbal and grounded, a Tuesday-night kind of scent. Winter Forest for stillness, with pine and winter woods that smell like January air without the cold. You can light them in order through a season, save the cocoa for company and the forest for solo time, or rotate based on the day. Curated as a winter rotation, not a sampler.
The Haute Cocoa® scent profile is bittersweet chocolate, fudge, roasted nuts, and cream — rich and warm, without being sticky-sweet. It reads as actual chocolate (the kind you break off a bar), not the cheap chocolate-candy version. One customer said it smells like "a pan of chocolate chip cookies just out of the oven," which is honestly the test we use. People genuinely think you've been baking when this is burning. It works in kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms — anywhere you'd want a warm, edible-but-not-too-sweet scent.
Sage+Pomegranate smells like cracking open a pomegranate over the sink while a bundle of fresh sage from the garden sits nearby — bright, juicy fruit colliding with green, earthy herb. The pomegranate hits first, sweet and tart and full of life, then the sage settles underneath to keep things from going candy-sweet. A base of cashmere wood adds depth and a soft, grounded warmth without making the candle feel heavy. The end result is a garden-fresh scent — actual fruit and actual sage, not fruit punch and not scented lotion. Customers describe it as fresh, balanced, and a little unexpected in the best way.
Winter Forest smells like breaking off a fir branch on a cold December walk — pine and fir balsam with real resin bite, plus warm baking spice running underneath. The base is forest pine and fir, layered with cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg for warmth, and orange peel cutting through the green to keep things bright. Apartment Therapy's testers picked up on the smokiness and called the fragrance "complex." Customers consistently report that the scent throw is unusually strong for a 6oz candle — one wrote that a single jar smells up an entire apartment. It's woods plus kitchen, outside plus inside, and a real winter forest rather than a Christmas-tree air freshener.
