The garden I was given to keep.

A rose grown in island air is not the rose of a cool English garden. Heat opens it — less powder, more petal; warmer, fuller, closer to the skin. Citrus lifts the opening, while jasmine and orange flower expand the heart. Amber and vanilla settle everything into something soft, enveloping and unhurried.

Island Rose is made for slowing the room down — a warm floral for the quieter rituals at the end of the day.

Notes
Rose · Jasmine · Orange Flower · Sparkling Citrus · Lavender · Amber · Vanilla
In brief
Rose · Jasmine · Vanilla

Our candles are a high-quality soy blend — primarily soy, with some paraffin, vegetable oils and fragrance oils — formulated for an even burn and a true scent throw, with a burn time of approximately 80 hours.

They are free from lead and plastics, and contain no parabens, synthetic dyes or phthalates.

Trim the wick to ¼” before each lighting. Stop when ½” of wax remains. Keep away from draughts, and out of direct heat.

Reed diffusers are flame-free. Rotate the reeds occasionally to refresh the throw; keep the oil off finished surfaces.

Two formats, one composition: a 9 oz hand-poured candle with an approximate 80-hour burn, and a 4.25 oz reed diffuser for a flame-free, slow release.

Plant Synergy

Rose

Rosa

An enduring symbol of romance since ancient times, the rose has long found a home in Caribbean gardens, teas and family rituals. For Tedrick, it belongs to Saturday mornings in a garden he tended as a child and later kept as his own — heat-opened, fuller and closer to the skin than any cool-climate bloom. In Island Rose, it becomes tender, familiar and quietly luminous.

Vanilla

Vanilla planifolia

Long treasured across the Caribbean in baking, beauty and perfumery, vanilla comes from the cured pod of a tropical orchid native to the Americas — hand-pollinated and among the world’s most labour-intensive spices. Its sweet, floral warmth has long been associated with comfort and calm. In Island Rose, vanilla softens the rose into something rounded, intimate and unhurried — made for the quieter rituals at the end of the day.

A Note From Our Founder

The garden I was given to keep

Of everything we make, Island Rose is the most personal.

In the Caribbean I grew up in, roses seemed to be everywhere. Almost every grandmother had a rose garden, and mine was no exception.

Every Saturday morning, that garden was mine to keep. I didn’t choose the chore, but over time it became a ritual, then a memory, and eventually — though I would not have known to call it this then — my first education in one of the great materials of fine perfumery.

Many of our fragrances begin with the Caribbean. This one begins in a particular garden, on a Saturday morning, with my grandmother nearby.

If you were raised in the Caribbean and spent your Saturdays at your grandmother’s, I suspect you already know exactly what this smells like.

The Mood

Romance & Elegance

Island Rose is candlelight and closeness — soft, refined, and quietly romantic, the way an island evening turns intimate.

The Feeling

Elegant & intimate

Petal-soft and composed — romance with the volume turned down.

Where It Takes You

A candlelit evening

The light gone gold, petals on the table, and no reason at all to leave early.

★★★★★

A rose that finally feels warm instead of powdery. It’s the last thing I light before bed.

The founder’s note made me buy it; the vanilla underneath the rose is why I reordered.

★★★★☆

Put the diffuser in our guest room and every visitor comments. Soft, grown-up, never sweet.
