She doesn't enter a room. She haunts it. 🥀
This isn't a sweet candle. It's intoxicated. Belladonna & Brandy is crushed violet and green leaves with a cold flash of bergamot, brandy poured slow over tonka bean and orris, and a base of smoked oud, sandalwood, and dark amber that lingers long after the flame. For the wild-hearted. For the romantic villains.
Hand-poured into a purple swirl glass the color of a bruised twilight, this 12 oz candle brings a dark, decadent atmosphere to your space. Light her after dark. Let her misbehave.
Each candle is topped with a purposeful pairing of gemstones to amplify the energy of this scent:
✨ Crystal Pairing
- Lepidolite — Calming • Anxiety Relief • Inner Healing
- Black Obsidian — Grounding • Protection • Clearing
Lepidolite soothes and steadies while Black Obsidian shields and clears — a pairing that keeps you calm and protected, even on your darkest, most dramatic nights.
✨ Fragrance Notes
- Top: Crushed Violet, Green Leaves, Bergamot — bruised, powdery, a little cold
- Middle: Brandy, Tonka Bean, Orris — warm, boozy, slow-dance energy
- Base: Smoked Oud, Sandalwood, Dark Amber — feral, lingering, dark romance

♻️ Sustainability & Care
Your swirl glass lives on as a tumbler, planter, or trinket holder. Snap the charred top off your wooden wick with your fingers before each burn (when the candle is cool) — no trimmer required, we hate fussy too. Allow a full melt pool on the first burn for best performance. Always burn on a heat-safe surface away from drafts.

Care & Burn Tips
For the best candle experience:
- Let the wax melt fully to the edges on your first burn — this prevents tunneling. Your candle will thank you.
- Snap the charred top off your wooden wick before each burn. No trimmer required, just your fingers and a cool candle.
- Keep the candle free of anything that's not wick or wax. Rule of thumb: if you wouldn't eat it, don't burn it.
- Keep burns to 2–3 hours — she's happiest that way. Four hours is the hard max; give her a rest after.
- Stop using when only 1/4" of wax remains. (We know, parting is such sweet sorrow.)
Heads up: wood wicks can be drama queens on the first light — sometimes it takes a few tries. A butane mini-torch lighter is your best friend here. Patience pays off.
Cleaning & Reuse Instructions
Give your swirl glass a second life:
- Allow the Candle to Cool: Ensure the wax has completely cooled and solidified before removing it.
- Remove Excess Wax: Gently scrape out as much leftover wax as possible with a spoon or butter knife.
- Soften the Rest: Set the glass in a bowl of hot water (without getting water inside) to soften the remaining wax, then wipe it out with a paper towel.
- Wash by Hand: Clean with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth to keep the swirl finish looking its best.
Use it as a tumbler, planter, makeup brush cup, or trinket holder.
