Behind The Scents

I’m excited to be bringing the Mountain Minis line of candles to you, inspired by the sights and smells of the Sierra Nevada. While inspired in the present, they frequently brought up memories of my past, which was fun for me to reminisce on while testing these blends.

cappuccino

Somewhere, somehow, along the way I became quite addicted to cappuccinos and lattes. It’s not so much the caffeine component as it is the silky foam that I enjoy so much. I love frequenting local coffee houses both here in Truckee and when I travel, and so it makes sense that this is one of my favorite candles. It’s a light aroma of coffee mixed with a touch of spiced oat milk.

baker's bliss

This alluring fragrance smells exactly like lemon pound cake, with glaze! I have to admit I’ve never made a lemon pound cake myself, but that doesn’t really matter; I love this just as much as every person who’s entered my home and smelled the candle burning. 

ORDER

zephyr

The base of this candle is a specially formulated odor eliminator that has its own pleasant scent, but is made even better with a touch of linen. It brings back hazy memories for me of my mom hanging laundry outside on the line when I was growing up, not to mention the laundry hanging in the water heater room. 

ORDER

timber trail

This one's for my dad, who had a deep love of redwood trees. We enjoyed many walks through redwood groves over the years, and I particularly remember strolling the trails with him and my daughter when she was very little. This is a subtle redwood and moss scent, with a touch of wet leaves. My dad also loved rocks, maybe that’s a future candle.

golden glow

An absolute crowd favorite, this fragrance is subtle, it’s sexy, it’s sunset vibes, and it lingers. At one time I lived in the Oakland Hills area of California, and had a spectacular view from the back of my house. I will forever associate deep-hued, velvety, and sultry sunsets with this location, looking out over the city lights of San Francisco, often while watching old Bollywood movies. This candle brings me back. 

SELECT

fireside

I adore the smell of a wood fire, and have many precious memories throughout every era of my life associated with fires. Bonfires by the lake, by the ocean, fire pits in suburbia, backcountry cooking … the warm amber scent of this candle has a touch of smoke but isn’t overwhelming. More like a subtle background to deep conversations with friends and family, or maybe simply sitting in solitude.
