The vetiver and guaiac wood keep this from smelling like a candle—it's warmer and earthier than I expected. Peppercorn gives it just enough bite without being sharp.

The vetiver and guaiac wood really ground the cinnamon so it's not too sweet—this is the first woodsy spice candle I've actually finished in a long time. The spicy kick lingers subtly in the hallway for hours after I blow it out.

The ginger and peppercorn come through just enough to keep the cinnamon from being too sweet, and the vetiver gives it a grounding warmth that fills my living room for hours. I’ve had candles that smell great dry but turn weird when lit, this one stays balanced the whole time.
