The Pacific Coast of North America has the largest temperate rainforest on Earth. These forests are made up of towering trees like the Sitka spruce and Douglas fir and and home to wildlife such as elk, bald eagles, black bears and if you’re lucky you may spot a rare spirit bear. These forests are vast, deep, and most importantly wet. What gives a temperate rainforest its namesake is the incredible amount of rain it receives (some areas, more than 300mm annually) along with its moderate temperatures.
A typical walk through these woods goes something like this: vast evergreen trees reach up to block out most of the sky. It is raining; you hear the pitter-patter of the drops hitting the leaves in the canopy above but little makes its way down to trouble your walk. The ground is thick with mosses, shrubs, and ferns. The air is alive with birdsong and heavy with the scents of plant matter, wet soil, and rain.
If you can’t make the journey there, this candle will be your rain forest delivering the intoxicating scents of pine and bergamot followed by a heart of balsam and base of petrichor and cedarwood.
This scent comes in three varieties:
180mL amber apothecary jar with silver lid - Over 30 hours burn time
100mL Silver tin with lid - Over 18 hours burn time
50g Wax melt five piece snap bar - very long lasting
All my candles are hand made by myself in Edinburgh, Scotland with a coconut and rapeseed blend of wax (free of soy and paraben) and the highest quality fragrance oils. After curing for two weeks, your candles will be packed in eco-friendly packaging (only recycled paper when possible and no plastic).
Black Bear & Pine was created by myself to share my love and memories of Canada, particularly the Pacific Northwest where I’m from.
