Upside Goods Co. - Small (5oz) Candle - Dark Rose + Vanilla Plum

'Not your grandma's rose candle. Respectfully.'

Let's talk about rose for a second. Rose candles have a reputation — overly sweet, kind of dated, the kind of thing you light in a bathroom and pretend was intentional. This is not that.

Dark Rose is exactly what it sounds like: rose that's been allowed to be moody. It opens deep, a little velvety, like the smell of a flower shop right at closing time — warm, slightly earthy, with petals that have actually been handled and not just photographed.

The vanilla plum base is where it gets interesting. Plum brings a soft, jammy depth that keeps it from going too floral, and the vanilla smooths everything into something warm lingering and the most familiar part of the candle. It's the scent equivalent of a good red wine — complex enough to be interesting, approachable enough that everyone likes it. One of our best-sellers for a reason. Light it once and you'll be back for a refill.
