HIGH DESERT 8 oz Glass Jar Candle

HIGH DESERT 8oz Glass Jar Candle

The high desert has a rugged beauty all its own. Whether you’re enjoying time in the Great Basin, the Sonoran, or the Mojave, there’s much to respect and much to learn from the desert.

So, if you’ve ever watched the sun come up over yuccas or heard a pack of coyotes shriek with laughter into the night, you can guess the magic of this desert-scented hand-poured candle. But until you’ve smelled it, you have no idea the treat you’re in for. It’s pretty darn good.

High Desert evokes the unique and lonesome song of the cowboy as he rides the high desert. The crisp, dry scent of a juniper sage cedar scented candle mixes with the spicy aroma of a tobacco-stained leather saddle.
