Full Scent Breakdown:

Smoky • Spicy • Woody • Earthy

Top Notes (First Impression)

  • Black Pepper (Piper nigrum): Warm, dry, and spicy — evokes the heat of freshly fired gunpowder.

  • Juniper Berry (Juniperus communis): Crisp, piney freshness that cuts through the smoke and keeps the scent sharp and clean.

Middle Notes (Heart)

  • Cade Oil (Juniperus oxycedrus): Deeply smoky and tar-like — delivers the core “gun smoke” and burnt casing character.

  • Texas Cedarwood (Juniperus mexicana): Dry, resinous wood note that anchors the smoke with a rugged backbone.

  • Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin): Earthy and musky — adds warmth and depth to the composition.

Base Notes (Lingering Trail)

  • Birch Tar (Betula lenta): Leathery, smoky, and slightly bitter — the truest representation of spent shells and gun oil.

  • Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanoides): Earthy, grassy, and grounding — adds the scent of dry soil and warm steel.

  • Amyris (Amyris balsamifera): Subtly sweet and woody, softening the harsher smoke for a smooth, balanced finish.

Materials + Care

Each candle is hand-poured in small batches using 100% natural beeswax and 100% pure essential oils — no paraffin, synthetic fragrance, or dyes. The wick is cotton, pre-waxed with beeswax for a clean, even burn.

Care Instructions:

  • On first use, burn candle until wax melts edge to edge to prevent tunneling.
  • Trim wick to ¼" before each burn.
  • Burn for 1–2 hours minimum to allow an even melt pool.
  • Keep away from drafts, flammable materials, and direct sunlight.
  • Allow candle to cool completely before handling.
  • To reuse: Clean jar with warm water and repurpose or recycle.
