Self Care — Black Currant & Bonfire Candle
Why This Exists
This scent was created in recognition of intersectionality — the reality that our identities are layered, political, and deeply human. Inspired by the work of Audre Lorde, who described herself as a Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, and poet, this blend honors complexity as strength.
Black currant and bonfire move between sweetness and smoke, mirroring the way we carry joy, grief, resistance, and care all at once. This is a reminder that you don’t owe anyone a single story. Your lived experience is not negotiable.

Rich | Grounded | Intimate
Scent Story
Juicy black currant opens with a deep, dark fruitiness that feels rich and expansive rather than sweet. As the scent develops, soft smoke and hints of brown sugar emerge, creating warmth that feels lived-in, like embers settling after a fire. A grounding base of musk with a subtle touch of anise lingers beneath it all, giving the scent depth, balance, and staying power.
Top Notes: Black currant, cedar
Middle Notes: Smoke, brown sugar
Base Notes: Musk, anise

I absolutely love this candle! It has such beautiful depth of scent. I shy away from overly sweet candles, but I love the balance of smoky and fruity that this scent hits perfectly. It feels warm and inviting and has a great scent throw. It lingers long after extinguished as well.
