Strong Scent

I really love Butter Mints. It fills the room, the mint is strong but it’s creamy, not sharp. I actually like it better than peppermint bark. It’s not overly Christmasy to me, I could burn it throughout the year. If you don’t like peppermint than it might not be for you but I love it!

Totally agree that this could be a winner year round! So glad you're loving this one, friend!

This one reminds me of if vanilla lavender and fresh cut herbs had a baby. It's not suuuper minty but it is very refreshing, makes me want to go take a bubble bath and relax. Not the strongest candle ever but a very good one.

Minty Memories!

This candle is pure nostalgia in a jar. As an 80s kid I’m immediately transported back to church linger longers, wedding banquets, old school restaurants, and Grandma’s dinner table, where these mints were always available with a tiny silver spoon. The aroma is so smooth and soothing. If you could eat this candle it would literally melt in your mouth. I love it so much. It’s a fun change up from all the bakey, fruity, spicy and woodsy notes. I highly recommend!

Hey there Angel! We LOVE this story you painted for us. All the moments and memories that remind us of times spent with family in the places that remind us of home. That is always what we try to capture when we make new scents. THis is amazing!!!
