When we think of pine-scented candles, our minds often go straight to the holiday season. But at Wax Crescent, I believe that the timeless aroma of pine, oakmoss, and evergreen isn’t just for December—it’s a reflection of Colorado’s majestic outdoors all year round. My Oakmoss & Evergreen candle captures the natural beauty and essence of this state, making it the perfect scent to enjoy every season.
Inspired by My Love of Hiking and Camping in Colorado
As someone who feels most grounded and connected to myself when I’m in nature, surrounded by trees, the idea for Oakmoss & Evergreen came from my own love of hiking and camping in Colorado’s wild spaces. There’s something deeply calming about walking through a forest, with the fresh scent of pine and earth beneath your feet. Whether it’s the crisp morning air on a mountain trail or the quiet peace of a campsite nestled among evergreens, those are the moments when I feel most at home and at peace with myself.
I wanted to capture that feeling in a candle, so that even when I’m not outside, I can bring that grounding, tranquil essence into my home—and now, into yours.
Pine: More Than a Holiday Scent
It’s easy to associate pine with holiday festivities, but in reality, this scent is far more versatile. The clean, woodsy notes of pine are grounding and fresh, evoking the serenity of nature—perfect for bringing a sense of calm into your home throughout the year.
In Colorado, we’re lucky to be surrounded by stunning evergreen forests and towering pines. The scent of pine here isn’t tied to a single season; it’s a constant reminder of the wild beauty that surrounds us. Whether you’re hiking in the Rockies in the spring or enjoying a quiet winter afternoon by the fireplace, the aroma of evergreen trees is a signature of Colorado life.
Oakmoss & Evergreen: Bringing Colorado’s Outdoors In
Our Oakmoss & Evergreen candle is inspired by this very connection to nature. As a maker based in Longmont, Colorado, I wanted to create a candle that brings the outdoors into your home in a way that’s soothing and balanced, not overpowering. The top notes of pine and fir needles instantly transport you to a crisp mountain trail, while the earthy oakmoss adds depth and warmth.
This candle evokes the peace I find when surrounded by trees. Lighting it reminds me of that deep sense of grounding and connection I experience in nature, and I hope it does the same for you.
