Higher Ground Signature Candle

Petrichor | Moss | Fresh Rainwater

The smell of rain before it hits the ground.

Higher Ground opens with petrichor — that rare, unmistakable scent of earth just before a storm. Moss follows with a soft, green depth that feels alive and unhurried. Fresh rainwater finishes it clean, lifting the whole scent into something airy, clear, and quietly wild.

This is a candle for the reset. For the mornings you need your space to feel like open air, and the evenings when the world has been too loud for too long. Higher Ground doesn't calm you down — it clears you out.

  • Burn for 2–4 hours at a time for the best performance.
  • Keep the candle away from drafts, fans, vents, and open windows.
  • Always burn on a stable, heat-safe surface.
  • Never leave a lit candle unattended.
