Who It's For

The Weekend Candle is ideal for people who enjoy a layered aromatic experience that is neither too sweet nor overwhelmingly floral. It suits those who prefer a unisex or slightly masculine scent for shared spaces, and anyone looking for a candle that doubles as a decorative accent thanks to its clean jar and wood lid.
