Myrtle & Moss The Botanical Candle Collection: Field — A Sunkissed Field Captured in Soy Wax and Ceramic
For those who seek stillness in the open air, Field distils the unhurried beauty of a sun-warmed meadow into a single, transportive burn. Cool violet leaf and crisp peppermint open with dewy freshness, grounded by aromatic basil and the quiet warmth of cedarwood, while green rose lingers as a soft, luminous close. Poured into a tactile almond-white ceramic pot designed for a second life as a planter, this is a candle that gives twice — first as atmosphere, then as object.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Violet Leaf | Viola odorata leaf absolute / fragrance accord | High | Top note — green, dewy opening | Evokes freshness; calming aromatic quality |

| Peppermint | Mentha piperita essential oil / accord | Mid | Top-to-heart note — cool, fresh edge | Invigorating; promotes alertness and mental clarity |
| Cedarwood | Cedrus atlantica or Juniperus virginiana oil / accord | Mid | Base note — warm, woody anchor | Grounding; associated with stress reduction in aromatherapy |
| Green Rose | Rose fragrance accord (green facet) | Mid | Heart-to-base note — floral softness | Uplifting; adds depth and sensory elegance |
| Soy Wax | Hydrogenated soybean oil | High | Carrier / burn medium | Clean, slow burn; lower soot than paraffin |
Field is built on a soy wax base, which has a lower melt point than paraffin, enabling a slower, more even fragrance diffusion that sustains scent throw across a full 70-hour burn time. The fragrance architecture follows a classic top-heart-base structure: volatile top notes of violet leaf and peppermint bloom immediately on lighting, while basil and green rose develop through the warm heart of the burn. Cedarwood’s heavier aromatic molecules anchor the composition, slowing evaporation and ensuring the scent remains complex and present rather than dissipating quickly. The ceramic vessel retains heat gently, supporting an even melt pool and reducing fragrance loss between burns when the dust cover is replaced.
- Creating a calm, nature-inspired atmosphere in living spaces or home offices
- Gifting — particularly suited to those drawn to botanical, green, or garden-inspired fragrance profiles
- Repurposing after use: the almond-white ceramic pot is scaled for a small succulent, herb, or trailing plant
