Black Currant Reserve — Black Currant & Absinthe Candle

Black Currant Reserve opens with black currant, pomegranate, and a cool edge of absinthe before dark fruit, aperitif brightness, oakmoss, and amber settle into place. Tart, dark, and polished rather than sugary, it brings a refined fall mood to the room with fruit that feels glossy and complex instead of sweet.

How It Smells in the Room

The first impression is dark, tart fruit with a cool herbal bite from the absinthe. As the candle warms, currant and pomegranate feel fuller and glossier without turning syrupy. Oakmoss adds shaded, earthy depth while amber smooths the base, leaving the room refined, slightly moody, and distinctly fall-ready.

Scent Strength & Throw

Noticeable fragrance presence with a dark, tart fruit character and a cool herbal edge. Black currant, pomegranate, and absinthe lead first, then the fruit becomes fuller as the melt pool develops while oakmoss and amber give the drydown more depth and polish. Noir 10 oz works well in offices, entryways, dining rooms, and medium-size living spaces; Noir 14 oz gives the fragrance more reach, while the Limited Rose Gold 18 oz format creates the broadest room presence for larger fall gatherings and open spaces.

Care & Safety

Place on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Trim cotton wicks to approximately 1/4 inch before each burn; keep wooden wicks properly trimmed according to their burn behavior. Allow an even melt pool to develop and burn no longer than four hours at a time. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children, pets, drafts, and flammable materials, and discontinue use when about 1/2 inch of wax remains.

Cotton wicks are lead-free; wooden wicks are untreated natural wood with no coating, chemical treatment, or ignition accelerant. No added synthetic dyes, UV inhibitors, or hardeners.
