"Crooked River" (Into the Wild - Withlacoochee State Forest):
Notes of red cedar, bayberry, warm woods & green moss.
Scent Profile: Warm // Earthy
Scent Strength: Soft & Subtle
The Withlacoochee River—its name meaning "crooked river" in Seminole—winds through Florida's third-largest state forest, carving a path through ancient cedar hammocks and wild berry thickets. Spanning over 157,000 acres of protected wilderness, Withlacoochee State Forest preserves longleaf pine ecosystems, cypress swamps, and the winding waterways that have shaped this landscape for centuries. This candle captures the essence of wild Florida—red cedar groves standing tall along the riverbanks, wild bayberry (once harvested for traditional candle-making) growing in sun-dappled clearings, the warm embrace of untouched forest. A place that has remained wild and free, worth preserving for generations to come.
Each Crooked River candle is available in your choice of vessel: vintage glass Glow Jars for home elegance or rugged Infinity Tins for adventure and travel. Both feature the same premium, custom coconut, soybean, and apricot waxes.
Both classic 8 oz vessels hold vintage and timeless appeal--handcrafted just for you. Insatiably curious, we search the country for high-quality fragrance and essential oils to blend for your cozy pleasure and peace of mind. Our scents are crafted to whisper rather than shout—present but never overpowering, designed for those who appreciate nuanced fragrance that unfolds over time. Up to 60 hours burn time expected, dependent upon use. Made with clean-burning, cotton wicks. No phthalates! No parabens! No "bad" stuff.
