Our New York scent was the most difficult and complex candle we've ever created. We went through nearly 100 different versions of the fragrance before landing on a winner.

Having lived in New York for the past 15 years, our founder felt immense pressure to get it right. 

The final product—with notes of amber, saffron, and sweet sage—was heavily inspired by some of our favorite hotel bars in New York. 

Here’s a selection of standouts.

The Best Hotel Bars in New York

Bemelmans, The Carlyle
You'd be hard-pressed to find a more quintessentially "New York" bar than Bemelmans. Live music, impeccable martinis, perfectly eclectic crowd.

The Crosby Bar, Crosby Street Hotel
You wouldn't expect to find a posh afternoon tea service at a hotel lobby in downtown New York — and that's precisely why we love The Crosby Bar. So chic, so unexpected. A bit of British influence in the Big Apple.

The Lobby Bar, The Bowery
Effortlessly cool and cozy, The Bowery is one of our favorite places to grab a drink on a cold winter night. It feels like you're in someone's (exquisitely decorated) living room.

Corner Bar, Nine Orchard
A dramatic vaulted ceiling, ornate chandeliers, and an impressive cocktail list—Corner Bar has become a new go-to for us (well, whenever we can snag a reservation).

These hotel bars embody the energy, elegance, and effortless charm of New York. For us, these spaces weren’t just destinations—they were inspiration. The warm glow of a candlelit bar, the richness of a well-crafted drink, the quiet hum of conversation in a beautifully designed room. That’s the feeling we wanted to capture in our New York scent.

So whether you’re raising a glass at one of these iconic spots or lighting our candle at home, here’s to the unmistakable magic of New York.
