A mythical voyage of black pepper, vanilla, and dark fruit ☘️
If you've ever been drawn to that cult-favorite black-pepper-and-currant bath bomb — the mischievous one with the hidden red center — Odyssey is its candle counterpart. Inspired by epic Greek voyages, this fragrance opens with crackling black pepper and dark black currant, drifts into the floral elegance of vanilla orchid, and grounds into deep, earthy patchouli. Bold, adventurous, and a little bewitching.
Hand-poured into our signature 100% Spanish recycled glass (yes, it's dishwasher safe!), this luxury Rocks Candle brings a confident, story-worthy presence to your space — perfect for autumn evenings, creative work, fireside conversations, or any moment that asks you to write your own myth.
Each candle is topped with a purposeful gemstone to amplify the energy of this scent:

♻️ Sustainability & Care
Vessel lives on as a rocks glass, 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.
- Don't burn for more than 4 hours at a stretch — give it a rest.
- 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
Transform your Rocks Candle into a stylish drinking glass with these simple steps:
- Allow the Candle to Cool: Ensure the candle wax has completely cooled and solidified before attempting to remove it.
- Remove Excess Wax: Gently scrape off as much of the leftover wax as possible using a spoon or butter knife. Be careful not to scratch the glass.
- Fill a Bowl with Hot Water: Place the candle glass in the bowl (careful not to get water in the glass) to soften the wax. Wipe with a paper towel.
- Clean with Hot Soapy Water: Fill the glass with hot, soapy water and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Wipe Clean: Use a sponge or cloth to wipe away any remaining wax residue.
- Dishwasher Safe: Once the wax is completely removed, you can place the glass in the dishwasher for a thorough cleaning.
Enjoy your new, eco-friendly drinking glass! Perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your beverage collection.
