Fragrance is so personal. Scents can make intimate memories come to life - when you come across something familiar you may not even be able to put your finger on what you’re remembering, but your emotions tell the story. Women and men alike choose “signature scents” to wear for special occasions and casual days, and even the smell of a specific laundry detergent can be a calling card for the person whose clothes carry the scent.

Put it this way: the scents you surround yourself with matter. Whether you’re creating a warm environment in your home, or choosing a fragrance for yourself, we have a few recommendations for this wintery season.

Dune’s Signature Candles, Dusk + Dawn

Dawn is a fresh, uplifting way to start the day, made from Driftwood + Juniper. Dusk is a grounding & relaxing scent, made from Palo Santo + Sandalwood. These candles were designed with YOU in mind. We wanted to encapsulate the smell of the shop it’s self into a candle for you to take home. A collaboration with our local candle maker Brittany of Little Sparks. Each is handmade with Coconut & soy wax and scented w/ phthalate free fragrance oils. A perfect fall and winter scent to fill your home!

One of our favorite types of winter scents has a bit of the outdoors! Inspired by the fresh evergreens that grow in the airy mountains of Montana, this scent is reminiscent of nature in a far-off place. A Brooklyn Candle Studio original blend of blue spruce, pine, and camphor essential oils and fragrance. Made in Brooklyn, New York with 100% soy wax for an eco-friendly clean burn.

DAWN from Aiden and Coco

Candles aren’t the only way to scent your home! Atmosphere sprays made with clean ingredients are a great way for “spot scenting”, when you just need a fragrance refresh.
