This candle is debuting as part of the Officially Licensed Ashen Series Collection in collaboration with author Demi Winters. Please note that this candle is a PREORDER and will ship the week of August 31st.

This scent captures the essence of Kassandr as he is described in the book: "juniper and sage, fresh and herbal" (Saga). We all know Kassandr Rurik is a sneaky one. So, should it surprise any of us that his scent was a tricky one to create? Of course not.

His scent had to be unforgettable. Sexy. A little dangerous. And, of course, unmistakably Kassandr. After plenty of testing, tweaking, and a little bit of scent sorcery, I finally found it.

Upon first sniff, you're likely to quote the man himself: "Ty pytayesh'sya menya soblaznit'?”

Candle Care & Safety

Burn Time

You will maximize the burn time of your candle if you take proper care of it. With proper care, you can expect the following burn times:

  • Tealights (Burn Time ~3-4 hrs)
  • 2oz candles (Burn Time ~12-16 hrs)
  • 4oz candles (Burn Time ~18-24 hrs)
  • 7oz candles (Burn Time ~30-40 hrs)
  • 14oz candles (Burn Time ~60-80hrs)

To make sure your candle burns beautifully and lasts as long as possible, here’s what you need to know.

Caring For Your Candle & Safety

1. Trim Your Wick

Before every burn, trim the wick to about ¼ inch. This helps prevent soot, mushrooming, and uneven burning. (Bonus: it makes your candle burn cleaner and last longer.)

2. Let the Wax Pool

On your first burn, let the melted wax reach all the way to the edges of the jar before blowing it out - usually about 2-3 hours. This prevents tunneling (where wax builds up along the sides and you lose hours of burn time).

3. Keep It Clean

If you see any soot or debris on the surface, carefully remove it once the wax is cool. A clean surface ensures a smoother burn and better scent throw.

4. Don’t Over-Burn

Keep each burn session around 3-4 hours max. Longer burns can cause your wick to “mushroom” and shorten the life of your candle.

5. Store It Smart

When not in use, store your candle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. This helps preserve both the wax and the scent. Keep the cover on, if possible.

6. Safety First

Always burn on a heat-safe surface, keep away from drafts, and never leave your candle unattended. (We love obsession, but not the fiery kind.)

Natural Ingredients

Our candles are hand-poured using natural 100% soy wax sourced in the United States.

All premium fragrance oils used in our candle recipes are:

  • Vegan
  • Cruelty-free
  • Formulated without phthalates
  • Adhere to RIFM and IFRA standards for safety and purity

Handcrafted Product

Every candle is designed, crafted, tested, poured, cured, wicked, labeled, and packaged by Lauren in her Seattle-area home.

Because these are true small‑batch candles made with 100% soy wax, natural variations like frosting, minor texture changes, or slight color differences may appear.

These shifts don’t affect performance; they’re simply the mark of a truly handcrafted, small‑batch product.

Understanding Fragrance Families

Fragrance families group scents by their shared characteristics (e.g. floral, aromatic, woody, earthy, gourmand, and more.)

If you know which families you’re drawn to, you’ll have an easier time choosing candles that match your mood, your space, and your personal scent style.
