We made these candles in collaboration with our friends Milwaukee Candle Co.
This candle is built on nostalgia. I (Sarah, Tactile Co-Founder) was born in Phoenix, and these scents are at the center of two of my first memories. The first was sitting on my Grandfather's shoulders, picking ripe grapefruits off of the trees in my family's front yard when I was only a couple years old. The second was a trip to Grand Canyon not long after, a place that still feels like home after all these years. When Anna (Tactile Co-Founder) and I took one of our long road trips out to Joshua Tree years ago and stopped at the South Rim, I tried hard not to oversell the freshness of the desert piñon before we got there. Her Midwestern love of deep pine forests and the Northwoods understood once we arrived.
Rooted in smokey piñon and uplifted by juicy ruby grapefruit, these candles perfectly balance tranquility and vibrancy. Notes of camphor, clove, and lemon zest balance the scent and root it in its southwestern ethos. Upon lighting, indulge in the added layer of warmed leather that grounds the scent and enriches the intimacy of the candle.

When lighting your candle, be sure to allow a consistent burn for 1-3 hours or until you achieve a melt pool (liquefied wax on the top layer of a burning candle) from each side of the container. This prevents your candle from tunneling.
It’s important to trim your wick to ¼ inch before lighting. You can use scissors or one of our stainless steel wick trimmers. This will ensure your candle burns cleaner, longer, and safer.
Always keep a burning candle within sight, and out of reach of children and pets. Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Trim candlewicks to 1/4” inch each time before burning. Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches and debris at all times. Be sure the candle is placed on a stable, heat resistant surface. Be extra careful, and discontinue burning a candle when 1/4 inch of wax remains in the container.
