Fragrance Family: Spiced | Smoky | Mysterious A scent of shadowed cathedrals and sacred relics, Midnight Reliquary lingers like incense curling through the dim corridors of a forgotten sanctuary. It opens with the haunting spice of anise and saffron, cooled by a hush of eucalyptus, like a whispered invocation in the dark. At its heart, black currant and ripe blackberry bleed into the air, deepened by the herbal bite of basil and smoldering incense. As the scent fades, it rests in the worn elegance of aged leather, dark musk, and amber—a fragrance of reverence, shadow, and time.

( Option coming in Sept 2025 to ship without tube) Disclaimer:Each Hemlock & Hearth candle is hand-poured in our home studio. Because they’re handmade, there may be slight variations—like a gently off-center wick, textured tops, or the occasional crease in a label. These small imperfections are part of the process and don’t affect the quality or burn. Scent is deeply personal, and we know buying without smelling can be a leap. Thank you for taking that chance.
