100% Soy wax candle in metal half-pint paint tin. Burns for approximately 72 hours.

Some evenings start politely. Others take a turn.

A Minor Scandal opens with bright peppercorn and orange, softened by a trace of violet. Aromatic sage and pine create a cool, botanical heart, while warm leather and crisp juniper settle into the base. The result is a refined blend of citrus, spice, and smoke—elegant, but faintly unruly, like champagne on the edge of midnight.

Poured into a metal half-pint paint can with lid, this candle feels like something discovered the morning after a lavish party—when the music has stopped, the last guests have drifted away, and the air still carries traces of perfume, smoke, and mischief. It’s a small artifact from the glamorous chaos of a night that probably shouldn’t have happened… but did.

Light it when the evening begins respectably—and ends somewhere else entirely.
