📖The Story

Some scents whisper. This one settles in like an old friend. The Tobacco & Bay Leaf Candle is our take on the timeless masculine candle - the kind of fragrance that's been quietly winning over candle lovers since Jo Malone made it a classic. We blend crushed bay leaf and fir needle for that herbal, slightly green opening, then let it warm into bergamot and cedarwood before settling into aged tobacco leaf and smooth sandalwood that give this scent its soul.

Hand-poured in McLeansville, North Carolina, every Tobacco & Bay Leaf candle is small-batch made with our signature coconut soy and beeswax blend. The result is a clean, even burn that releases this layered scent at exactly the right pace - no sharp edges, no overwhelming first impression, just slow-built atmosphere.

🕯️Fragrance Notes

• Top: Bay Leaf, Fir Needle
• Heart: Bergamot, Cedarwood
• Base: Tobacco Leaf, Sandalwood

Infused with natural cedarwood and lime essential oils. A masculine-leaning blend that wears beautifully on anyone. Crafted with a phthalate-free, Prop 65-compliant fragrance oil - clean and cruelty-free, ethically sourced, never tested on animals.

✨The Experience

The first match throws a bright herbal note - crushed bay leaf and fir, almost like walking past a Mediterranean herb garden. Within minutes the cedarwood and bergamot lift, adding warmth and just enough citrus to keep it from feeling heavy. By the time you settle in, aged tobacco leaf and smooth sandalwood have bloomed into the full room - grounded, refined, and quietly addictive.

👋🏼Meet the Maker

Hi, I'm Megan - the hands behind Phoenix Crafted. Every candle in our shop is poured by me in our McLeansville, North Carolina studio, in small batches, using a coconut soy and beeswax blend I developed and refined over years of testing. Tobacco & Bay Leaf is one of the scents I wanted to add the moment I realized our catalog was missing a true masculine candle - and I'm so glad it's here.💛
