A haunting fragrance where shadow and sunlight intertwine 🌑
If you've ever loved that cult-favorite earthy-herbal bath classic — the moody one with clove, geranium, and oakmoss that smells like a witch's apothecary — Persephone is its candle counterpart. Inspired by the goddess who walks between worlds, this fragrance moves through violet leaf and clary sage into smoky clove, dark cedarwood, and a whisper of ylang ylang and vetiver. Herbal clarity meets shadowy depth.
Hand-poured into our signature 100% Spanish recycled glass (yes, it's dishwasher safe!), this luxury Rocks Candle brings a contemplative, mythic atmosphere to your space — perfect for tarot pulls, journaling, autumn evenings, or any ritual that asks you to sit with both light and shadow.
Each candle is topped with a purposeful trio of gemstones to amplify the energy of this scent:
✨ Crystal Pairing
- Peridot — Compassion • Focus • Calm • Joy
- Snowflake Obsidian — Protection • Balance
- Purple Phantom Quartz — Intuition • Healing • Transformation
Together this trio holds the duality of Persephone herself — grounded and gentle, protective and balancing, with the deep intuitive pull of someone who has walked through underworlds and returned holding their own power.
✨ Fragrance Notes
- Top: Violet Leaf, Clary Sage
- Middle: Clove, Cedarwood

♻️ 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.
