This sassenach candle carries book lovers through the standing stones and into the Scottish Highlands — cool mist rolling off the crags, deep green oakmoss underfoot, and a sweeping, time-crossed love story waiting on the other side. SASSENACH is atmosphere first: wild, romantic, and windswept.
Oakmoss is one of perfumery’s great green notes — a lichen, not a moss, prized for its deep forest character — and it grounds this misty blend beautifully. Each candle is truly handmade — hand-poured in small batches in North Carolina from 100% pure soy wax, no paraffin, no blends.
