Scented coconut apricot candle. A study of coherence interpreted through copal, violet, orris, and heliotrope.

▪ Profile: Resin, Floral, Powder
▪ Key Notes: Copal, Heliotrope, Orris, Violet, Sandalwood

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

The same purpose, expressed differently across form. Each clock measures a different hour, shaped by the place that made it, yet none abandons the function it was built for. Pattern reminds us that coherence is found beneath variation: the expression changes, the order underneath does not.

    Very subtle at first. I honestly thought it might be too light for me, but about an hour into the burn it filled the room without becoming overwhelming. I get mostly sandalwood with something soft and slightly powdery underneath.

    Pattern surprised me. I expected the sandalwood to make it heavier, but there's something almost airy about it. Really balanced.

    Soft, warm and woody. This is the one I reach for when I don't want to think too hard about what to burn. It just works.

    I bought this after loving Throughline and they're nothing alike, which I actually appreciate. Pattern is much softer and warmer. At first I wanted a little more throw, especially in my open living room, but once I moved it to my bedroom it made much more sense. It's quiet, woody and very comforting without smelling like a "cozy" candle.
