"Salty Dunes" (Sea Turtle Beach - Hutchinson Island):
Notes of driftwood, sea air & vetiver.
Scent Profile: Fresh // Coastal // Woody
Scent Strength: Soft & Subtle
Hutchinson Island, off the coast of Jensen Beach, is where ancient mariners return home. Every summer, under cover of darkness, loggerhead sea turtles—some weighing 300 pounds, some over 50 years old—haul themselves onto these moonlit shores, driven by instinct older than memory. They dig deep nests in the warm sand, lay their precious eggs, and return to the sea, leaving behind the next generation buried beneath the dunes. For two months, those nests incubate under the Florida sun, protected by volunteers who mark each site, count each hatchling, and celebrate every tiny turtle that makes it to the waves. This candle captures those sacred nights—driftwood scattered along the shore, the sharp clean lift of sea air, the earthy vetiver grounding it all in the sand. It's the scent of conservation in action, of ancient rhythms continuing, of hope buried in the sand. Handcrafted in Jensen Beach, just steps from where these turtles nest.
Each Sea Turtle Beach 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, plus shells and sprinkled beach sand on top.
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.
