Description

There’s a kind of story that doesn’t shout - it lingers. It unfolds slowly, like sunlight over a field or the quiet shift of seasons. Meadow Verse is made for those stories. Ones rooted in place, full of observation and quiet emotion.

This candle blends meadow lily and cotton musk with pear and freesia - fresh, soft, and open. It’s the scent of countryside mornings, pages turning in silence, and a character walking a well-worn path with something unspoken on their mind.

It pairs beautifully with the calm clarity of Hardy, Montgomery, and Burnett, or contemporary voices like Raynor Winn, Tove Jansson, and Sarah Perry. If you’re drawn to introspective prose and landscapes that breathe with the story, this one’s for you.

Our candles come in a sleek, tapered container designed for both style and functionality.

This thoughtfully sized vessel provides a balanced burn, allowing the fragrance to gently fill your space while complementing any décor.

Fragrances

Cotton Musk – Soft and airy, wrapping around you like the comfort of a well-worn classic.

Pear – A crisp, golden sweetness, evoking orchard strolls and countryside tales.

Freesia – Delicate and fresh, whispering of handwritten letters and fleeting romances.
