Lexicon is a collection of named observations. Interpreted through scent, each Study gives language to what is often recognized, but rarely named. There is no prescribed order. Recognition rarely happens once.

Every Lexicon candle is hand-poured using a premium coconut apricot wax blend and fine fragrance oils selected for both performance and character.

Fragrance oils are free from phthalates, parabens, carcinogens, mutagens, reproductive toxins, and other ingredients commonly associated with California Proposition 65. Each candle is finished with a natural cotton wick and poured in reusable glass designed to be kept long after the final burn.

Each candle is hand-poured in small batches and carefully packed before shipping. Orders are typically processed within 2–3 business days.

    Definitely stronger than the other Alchemist scents I've tried. The first burn was almost too smoky for me, but it softened considerably after a while and I started picking up more of the saffron. I wouldn't call it an everyday scent for me, but it's incredibly distinctive.

    This is probably the boldest one I've tried so far. The saffron and smoke come through immediately, but there's a green note underneath that keeps it from feeling too heavy. I keep thinking about it after I blow it out.

    I bought Attention for my office and it's perfect there. It's dark and woody without making the room feel heavy. The oud is noticeable, but the basil gives it this unexpected freshness that I really like.
