Why a Candle Is the Best Way to Miss New Orleans
Smell is the shortcut to memory. You can look at a photo of New Orleans and feel something, but catch the smell of night jasmine or chicory coffee and you're back on a specific street on a specific night. That's the idea behind our candles. They're made for people who live here and want to bottle their favorite moments, and for people who left and need a little help remembering.
Our Best-Selling New Orleans Candles
The Night Jasmine Candle was our best-selling candle over the past year. It smells like walking home past somebody's fence line on a warm night in April. The Coffee & Beignet Candle is a close second, for the morning after.
The Magnolia Bloom Candle smells like the big trees in the Garden District in May. Each of these 8 ounce candles burns for about 40 to 50 hours.
Seasonal Favorites
Some scents follow the calendar. The King Cake Candle comes out when Carnival season starts on Twelfth Night, and makes the whole house smell like a bakery on a Saturday in January. The Satsuma Snowball Candle is summer in a jar, citrus and sugar, minus the humidity.
They also make one of the easiest gifts for people who moved away. For more ideas, browse our Home Goods collection or the For The Ex-Pats collection.
