Smokey, salty, and grassy? Or maybe sweaty, musky, and spirited? According to Candlefish Boston, Bergamot, Timber Wood and Musk encapsulate the nostalgic Fenway scent in candle form.
Candlefish’s library includes over 100 unique scents, with five candles inspired by a Boston neighborhood—from a whiff of a smokey Fenway Frank to the inspired aromas of Beacon Hill, Newbury Street, Boston Common, and Boston Harbor.
Pick from the library, or create your own scent!
Hailing from Charleston, South Carolina, Candlefish offers an immersive 90-minute candle making workshop to create your dream scent! Guests will get in the lab with guided instruction from a lovely Candlefish chandler, and by the end of the workshop all participants will be chandlers themselves!
You’ll start by dressing the part with an official apron and goggles, then comes the fun. Scents comprise of a top, mid, and base notes. To find your perfect custom candle scent, you’ll learn about the different notes while smelling each individually, and then mixing and matching a top, mid, and base blend develop your custom scent. There are 12 Candlefish notes in total, so the combinations are endless.
Candlefish uses a proprietary blend of soy wax for an even burn. You’ll mix and set your wax tincture in your two 9 oz glass candle jars which will be waiting for you the next day! While you can hardly wait to start burning the scent, chandlers suggest letting it set a few days to allow the fragrance to develop.
