Lodestone Candles - Sakura

$45.00

The visual magic of its bloom, release, and descent to the earth all while emitting its fragrance reminds us of the fragility of life and the power of rebirth. No wonder the allure of the cherry tree blooms has captured the imagination of mortals for centuries.

Long before Tokyo Mayor Yukio Ozaki’s gift to the U.S of cherry trees in 1912, the tradition of hanami or drinking under the cherry tree had long since been established. The practice dates to the Nara period (710-794) and continues today.

This version gets a little boost from an infusion of magnolia and rose to act as a bed for the cherries to lie upon. While tonka bean and sandalwood offer their support as a base.

Inspired by the utilitarian luxury made evident in New Americana, the sophisticated fragrances of Lodestone Reserve candles evoke memories of estate adventures, real or imagined, near or far.

Labels are produced on a 1921 Chander & Price letterpress in Chestertown, Maryland. The paper is American-made Crane & Co. paper. The labels provide the strength of character on par with the other worldly scents of Lodestone Candles.

Each container is 100% recyclable or can hold your pens or plants, spare change or pushpins, makeup brushes or seashell collections. The possibilities are limitless.
