Ruel Smoke Votive

The Ruel Smoke Votive from 1889 Wax Lighting is a candle that feels like standing on a mountainside at sunrise—strong, grounded, and quietly breathtaking. Inspired by the rugged majesty of the wild, this soy wax candle embodies resilience with a fragrance that is both fresh and deeply rooted in nature. The scent begins with bergamot and ripe fig, bright and awakening, like the first light cutting across the peaks. Chamomile and patchouli unfold at the heart, soothing yet earthy, carrying the timeless allure of ancient forests. Cypress and birch bark linger at the base, resinous and grounding, adding a smoky evergreen vitality that anchors the fragrance in strength and calm. Hand-poured in Montana with natural fragrance oils, this candle burns cleanly for sixty hours and arrives in a sleek black candle box that makes it as giftable as it is collectible.
