▪ Profile: Herbal, Woods, Earth
▪ Key Notes: Sage, Chamomile, Palo Santo, Patchouli

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

There is nothing extraordinary about the tree at first glance. It stands without demanding attention, its history revealed only by the willingness to look again. Signal reminds us that discernment arrives unremarkably. It begins where first impressions end.

Sage over palo santo.

    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.

    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.
