Bringing the Cottage Home.
1983 began with a simple idea: capture the magic of weekends spent by the lake, a way to bring the peace and joy of cottage life into our daily routines. It started with just one candle—a scent inspired by the calming, cozy atmosphere of our family cottage. We wanted a candle that brought the lake to us, wherever we were, to remind us of the timeless moments spent around a crackling fire, or under the stars, all wrapped up in a favorite hoodie. And what we found was that we weren’t alone. So many people crave that sense of escape, the simple pleasure of a weekend getaway.
This single scent became a spark of inspiration, and soon we were dreaming of more ways to capture the feeling of those cottage weekends. That’s how our Inspired By series was born. We wanted to take you through the rhythm of a weekend at the lake, with each scent marking a different time of day. We hope these candles remind you to savor each moment, just like at the cottage, even if it’s just an evening at home.
Let’s dive into the first collection of the series:
Friday Night
Scent Notes: Embers | Patchouli | Maple | Moss
First night at the cottage? You know the drill: throw on a hoodie, grab a drink, and head to the fire. This scent is the campfire glow without the smoke in your hair—think earthy embers and moss with a sweet hint of maple syrup to keep things cozy. You’ll feel like you're toasting marshmallows (even if you're just binging Netflix).
Saturday Afternoon
Scent Notes: Coconut Milk | Cedar | Fig | Moss
Sunscreen? Check. Dock towel? Check. This candle’s got all the laid-back, sun-soaked vibes of a lazy afternoon by the lake. Coconut milk and fig give it a hint of tropical, while cedar and moss keep it grounded—just like you, basking in the sun after a dip, laughing with your crew, and pretending you don’t have to check your work emails.
Sunday Morning
Scent Notes: Cinnamon | Orange Peel | Honey | Butter
The last morning at the cottage, and it’s all about slow vibes and sweet smells. Picture this: tea or coffee in hand, a gentle mist rising over a glass-like lake, and someone in the kitchen whipping up waffles. Warm cinnamon, zesty orange peel, and buttery goodness—that’s the Sunday morning you need. It’s like breakfast in candle form, minus the dishes.
Each candle in the Inspired By series is our way of sharing the calm, joy, and warmth of cottage weekends. We’re excited to bring this experience to your space, one scent at a time, so you can keep that cozy vibe going, no matter where you are.
And while the Inspired By series started with the magic of the cottage, there’s a new weekend adventure on the horizon. We’re already dreaming up the next collection, a fresh take that captures a whole new side of the perfect weekend. Stay tuned as we explore where our next scent journey will take us—no cottage required, but guaranteed to bring those weekend feels right to you.
