Verdure is a fresh, green fragrance that captures the essence of renewal and regrowth. Inspired by the lush valleys and mossy gullies of the Grampians, this scent is bright, crisp, and uplifting.
A hush settles over the land after rain, the first tendrils of green pushing through rich, damp soil. The scent of soft moss rises with the mist, mingling with the delicate aroma of unfolding leaves. Sunlight glimmers through the canopy, casting a golden glow over a landscape that feels alive, awakened, full of promise. Verdure is a breath of fresh air, a scent that whispers of renewal, of life stretching towards the light.
With its fresh, leafy fragrance, Verdure creates a light, uplifting atmosphere in any space. Crafted with essential oils, it offers a refined and natural scent that lingers softly in the background.
Verdure Story
The hush after rain, the first tendrils of green unfurling through blackened earth. This is the scent of renewal, a fresh, awakening breeze whispering through valleys once thick with foliage. In mossy gullies and hidden creeks, tiny leaves push through soot-streaked soil, their roots tapping into the nutrients left behind. Though fire has shaped this land, it has also set the stage for its return—life stirring, patient and sure, ready to rise once more.
Details
Up to 20 hours burn time.
Our Scents of Place candles are delicately scented with essential oils, creating a subtle, sophisticated fragrance that lingers gently in the background—never overpowering, always refined. Designed to complement your space rather than dominate it, these candles bring the essence of the Grampians into your home with quiet elegance.
Candle Care
- On first use, allow the wax to melt to the edge of the glass to form an even burn. This is called a memory burn!
- Always keep the candle wick trimmed to approx. 5mm to maximise burn time.
- Do not burn your candle for longer than 3 hours at a time.
- Store your candle in a cool & dry place to minimise sweating.
- Use a candle snuffer or wick dipper to extinguish your candle to avoid the smell of smoke.
Scents of Place – A Candle Collection Inspired by the Grampians’ Strength and Renewal
Nature’s rhythm is one of renewal, a quiet yet unshakable force of resilience. After more than a year in the dreaming, planning, and refining, Scents of Place was created to honour the breathtaking beauty of the Grampians—but as the landscape has changed, so too has this collection.
When we prepared to represent this region in Paris in 2023, we envisioned a home fragrance collection that would transport people to the hidden gullies, towering forests, and sunlit heathlands of Gariwerd. But in the wake of the recent fires, I have come to see these places in a new light. Not just as they were, but as they are—strong, enduring, and already beginning their next chapter.
Fire is part of the bush’s story. It is both a challenge and a catalyst, opening seed pods, enriching the earth, and making way for the next generation of growth. And just as the land renews itself, so too does the community that calls it home.
This collection has been reimagined, and reimagined again. Now, it holds even deeper meaning—reflecting not only the timeless beauty of the Grampians but also its resilience, its ability to rise again, and the quiet strength found in both nature and the people who cherish it.
Every candle in the Scents of Place collection is a reflection of this landscape, its changing seasons, and the sense of place it evokes. Hand-poured with care, these candles are more than just scents—they are a tribute to the cycle of renewal, to the land as it was, as it is, and as it will be again.
As you light a candle from this collection, you are not only inviting the Grampians into your home—you are honouring its story of resilience, of adaptation, of quiet regrowth.
Scents of Place is more than just a collection of fragrances—it is a tribute to the land’s ability to heal, to adapt, to begin again. It is a love letter to the Grampians, to the bush, and to the unbreakable spirit of the community that calls it home.
As we step forward with hope, this collection is a reminder of nature’s quiet resilience—the way life returns, slowly, steadily, with strength and grace.
Light a candle. Breathe it in. And know that renewal is always unfolding, both in the land and within us.
