YEAR-ROUND SCENTS

RESTORE
Eucalyptus | Mint | Rosemary

This refreshing blend of Mint and Eucalyptus is an aromatherapeutic delight that immediately engages the senses to bring you into the present moment. A primarily herbal fragrance, Restore gives cool and crisp tones with its use of two types of mint and the brightness of Eucalyptus. Woody notes finish off Restore, and make it a balanced and unique scent blend that works especially well in aromatherapy collections.

 

SIGNATURE (bestseller!)
Black Coral | Moss | Vetiver

A customer favorite, Signature is our "house blend" for Narrative + Co. and one of our bestsellers. Inspired by luxury mens cologne, this robust scent highlighting musk, vetiver, and marine notes translates wonderfully into a home fragrance. Though the base notes are masculine, the sophisticated top notes round out the scent to make it a bestseller across demographics.

 

HABITAT
Orange | Bergamot | Bamboo

A refreshing twist on the classic Wassail beverage, Habitat brings the traditional notes of Cranberry and Cider, but blended with the refreshing brightness of Bergamot and the depth of green botanicals to ground the fruit. The warmth of the holiday notes feels comforting in a way you can’t quite describe, and the lightness of the additional notes makes Habitat a versatile scent that can be used year-round just as well as for holiday parties.

 

MURPHY'S LAW
Cedar | Musk | Sandalwood

Murphy’s Law is our earthiest scent and is popular with outdoor enthusiasts and those who prefer woodsy and grounding scents for their homes. The sandalwood and cedar are warm and cozy and are kept company by a lighter musk undertone that rounds out the scent nicely. This scent appeals to many palettes because it’s not strongly floral or strongly musky, but more of a warm woodsy middle ground that rounds out a candle scent collection.

 

BLANK PAGE (bestseller!)
Geranium | Currant | Gardenia

The joy of a blank page is in the possibility of a fresh start any time you need one.

LOST BOY (bestseller!)

A scent for the wanderers and travelers of the world, Roam is inspired by tropical foliage, coastal waters, and the feeling of exploring while on an island getaway.
