Leif Erikson Drive was initially constructed to promote development at the turn of the 20th century, but instead ended up being one of the main reasons Forest Park was preserved. Originally coined as Hillside Drive, developers desired to transform this steep hillside area into neighborhoods and build homes. Geologically, this area is risky to build on with wet, unstable conditions resulting in landslides, and costs discouraged further development. The road remained, and in the 1920s cars would attempt to drive through it, but the frequency of landslides prevented regular traffic. The Sons of Norway persuaded the city to rename the road after Leif Erikson, the first known European and Icelandic explorer to have discovered North America.

The Leif Erikson oakmoss & tobacco candle is inspired by the masculine intrigue of what one may have smelled on such an explorer. Zesty citrus notes provide a a great balance to the depth of bay leaf, cedarwood and oakmoss.

Favorite Candle

This is truly my favorite candle on the planet. The scents are nuanced and subtle but make my home smell incredible. The wood wick adds such an elevated touch. I love this candle and gift it whenever I feel like someone needs a bit of the PNW in their lives.

Love the candles!

It's very difficult to pick a favorite because most of them are equally wonderful. Right now my favorite is the Leif Erikson because that's what I'm currently burning. Fabulous scent to enjoy without being overpowering.

Great candle for a great trail

Leif Erikson is one of our favorite trails and it’s always fun to be reminded of it on days where the weather is gross and you just want to curl up inside with a candle.

Amazing!

My husband and I went to Le Pigeon and they had this candle in the bathroom, it filled the whole room with this amazing scent and I had to take a picture of this candle to buy after our night out! This scent is so comforting, it smells like a warm winter night and we associate it with some great memories. The wick is also a great touch. 10/10!
