OK everybody… I’m officially on the hunt for my all-time favorite candle and I cannot find it anywhere. Not even on the company website anymore. 😭
It’s called Red Amber & Cedar by Leoben Company. Black jar. Cream label. Absolute perfection. Apparently it was made in Southern California.
The scent is warm, woodsy, slightly masculine, cozy without smelling like I just ran through a timber farm on the backside of a bear lodge. 😂 Think amber, cedar, sandalwood, a little musk… just enough to make your house smell expensive without screaming “cabin.”
If you happen to spot this candle anywhere — HomeGoods, TJ Maxx, thrift store, flea market, Roses, random boutique, somebody’s grandma’s gift closet — PLEASE let me know. At this point I just want one 🤣
