A study of discernment. What remains after the first glance. Signal observes the details that persist beyond first impressions, nudging us toward what has been there all along. Interpreted through cold air, dry sage, and pale wood.

    There's a coolness to Signal that's hard to describe. I notice the sage, but there's also something that reminds me of wet stone and mountain air. It's subtle when you first light it and then suddenly you realize the entire room smells different. One of the more unusual fragrances I've tried from the collection.

    I have a hard time finding fresh candles that don't smell like laundry detergent or men's cologne. This is neither. It's green, dry and incredibly clean without having that artificial "clean scent" smell. I've been burning it every morning while I work.

    Bought this completely blind and immediately ordered another.

    So clean and green. I wasn't expecting to like this one as much as I do.

    Signal smells like cold air coming through an open window. Fresh, but not soapy or aquatic. The sage gives it just enough earthiness.
