Nature's Narrative: Introducing the Earth-Inspired Roots & Rain Small Batch
Welcome to an exclusive behind-the-scenes journey into the creation of our latest collection at Pure Intentions Candle Company, Roots & Rain. As the founder and a passionate candle maker, I often find explaining what inspires each collection to be both a complex challenge and the most exhilarating part of my work. It's like solving a puzzle where the pieces are scents, memories, and natural elements that eventually form a vivid, olfactory picture.
The Inspiration Behind Roots & Rain
Every candle tells a story, and believe it or not, the actual candle-making—the wax, the wick, the flame—is just the beginning. The real magic lies in the inspiration and the uncontrollable nature of fire and wax. It's about setting the stage just right, then stepping back and letting nature take over, transforming our carefully crafted scents into a narrative that unfolds in your space.
Roots & Rain was born from a simple, yet profound appreciation of the earth—its smells, its colors, and its textures. Initially, I was both intrigued and challenged by a scent that was as raw and earthy as petrichor—the scent of rain on dry earth. This wasn't like anything in my usual palette of vanillas and ambers; it was bold, it was different, and it took me out of my comfort zone.
The Fragrance Journey
Starting with a fragrance that literally smelled like dirt, I embarked on a sensory exploration that expanded my fragrance vocabulary and allowed me to appreciate the complex profiles of more natural, grounding scents. It was a leap into the unknown, a journey guided by the thrill of discovery and the joy of creation.
Here’s a glimpse into the four captivating scents that anchor the Roots & Rain collection:
Sunroot - Your new everyday scent, echoing the dry, smoky warmth of sunlit earth. With notes of chamomile, sage, lavender, and patchouli, it’s calming, grounding, and perfect for continuous enjoyment this spring.
Amber Dusk - This evening candle creates a luxurious, sexy backdrop with notes of camphor, dark musk, amber, and a hint of lavender. It's deep and evocative, ideal for unwinding after a long day.
Moss + Mineral - Imagine a secluded, moss-covered coastline where the waves whisper against the shore. With bergamot, moss, lavender, and juniper, it’s made for those who carry a piece of the ocean in their hearts.
Roots + Rain - The flagship scent of this collection captures the essence of a fresh, earthy forest right after a rainstorm. It’s a vibrant blend of green floral, petrichor, and moss, accented by patchouli for depth.
Embracing the Unconventional
This collection is a celebration of nature's simplicity and complexity. It's designed for those who appreciate the nuances of earthy, woodsy, and floral notes—all intermingling to create a tapestry of aromas that are anything but basic.
