Purple Rain does not ease quietly into the room. You light it, and it stands up and tells you exactly who it is.

Juicy raspberry and ripe blackberry arrive first, rich and bold. Rose and jasmine bring a smooth floral heart, while warm amber adds depth and staying power.

This candle has the confidence of Prince stepping onto a stage. Mysterious, sensual, completely original, and never required to beg for attention. It feels like purple lights, cassette tapes, late night radio, and waiting for your favourite song while praying the DJ doesn’t talk over the beginning.

When a longtime friend lit it, she said it carried her straight back to the 1980s and made her feel as though she were getting a warm hug from her dad. The tears were happy and bittersweet at the same time.

That is what scent can do. It finds a memory before your mind even knows where it is going. Honestly, that is exactly what I hoped this candle would become for someone.

The fragrance is strong, as it should be. It fills the room with presence and lingers beautifully without becoming sharp or overwhelming.
