Alder Candle - palo santo, sandalwood

This is one of my most favorite candle scents of all time ever! It's THE perfect palo santo woodsy scent. It's so calming and the perfect level of scent. Highly recommend!!

This candle is dreamy and beautiful. It starts off light but gradually fills the room. I'm the type that's sensitive to strong scents and odors, and I tend to shy away from things with overpowering fragrances as they can give me a headache after a while. As far as I know, Wildwood Candles have never made me feel bad. That's not to say that the scents are subtle, either. Rather they're JUST right. If you are a fan of wood scents, their entire line up is amazing. I love gifting the travel candles as well, everyone always really loves them. Alder is worth the price to me, and even though I'll be moving out of the country this year, I plan to still buy this candle for the rest of my life if I can! Just probably in bigger batches. :) + Wildwood customer service is also excellent, as far as I've experienced.

The Alder candle by Wildwood Candle Company is a great gift for anyone who appreciates a natural, high-quality burn. From the moment I light it, the scent—crafted entirely from essential oils—fills the space with a warm, grounding aroma that feels earthy and refined. Unlike synthetic fragrances that can be overpowering or artificial, this candle offers a beautifully balanced scent that lingers gently without being cloying.

One of the standout features is its clean burn. There’s no tunneling, excessive soot, or uneven melting—just a steady, even glow that speaks to the careful craftsmanship behind it. The wax pour is flawless, with a smooth surface that remains pristine even after multiple burns. This attention to detail makes it not just a candle but a piece of art in its own right.

This candle has a great woody scent to it that's not overpowering. The flickering of the wick adds to the atmosphere of calm, just like in the forest.

a luxury type scent. you’d love to walk in any house and smell it.
