What Makes It Uncommon

A Bit of Your Home Fires

Did you know that scent is the sense most closely tied to memory? In these state-themed candles, it's also tied to geography. Like the landscape, each of the states has its own scent profile that stays with you wherever you roam. These hand-poured, soy wax candles were formulated with input from locals in individual states for thoughtfully authentic aromas. Whether you pine for the big bouquet of Texas or the botanical grandeur of California, they offer a remedy for homesick senses. Handmade in New York.

A thoughtful gift for someone missing home

My friend's mom recently passed away and I know she's having trouble being so far from her family and home state. I got her this and she loved it!

Not what I think of when I think of Maryland

I was disappointed by how sickeningly sweet this is. There isn't one particular smell from this candle that reminded me of Maryland—no notes of saltwater which I would have thought would be a given. I think my expectations were too high, but overall I wouldn't buy this again.

I bought this as a gift for my friend who moved to a new city and couldn't be happier with my purchase! I have one in a different scent for myself and love the scent and design. Perfect gift for a new homeowner! #sweepstakes
