Scented coconut apricot candle. A study of inheritance interpreted through vanilla, oak, ylang ylang, and palm.

▪ Profile: Woods, Leather, Vanilla
▪ Key Notes: Oak, Leather, Smoke, Vanilla

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.

For details regarding shipping, returns, exchanges, and damaged items, please refer to our Shipping & Returns policy.

The Study

Every surface carries the history of what came before it. Layer by layer, beliefs, expectations, and assumptions accumulate until the original structure is difficult to recognize. What is uncovered is not something newly created, but something that remained beneath every inheritance.

Ylang Ylang over smoked vanilla.

    Origin was a blind buy and probably the safest gamble I've ever made on a candle. I get the vanilla right away, but after it burns for a bit there's something fresher underneath that keeps it from getting heavy. I've already ordered the larger size.

    This might be the easiest scent in the collection to love. Warm, clean, slightly sweet. Nothing complicated, just really good.

    I expected a basic vanilla candle and this is definitely not that. There's vanilla, but the woodiness keeps it from smelling sugary. Really beautiful.

    Warm and soft without being overly sweet. I've been burning this one almost every night.
