Layered Notes Collection 8 oz candles, at home with you

A room can tell a story through the details you choose. A favorite book, a comfortable chair and a distinctive candle create a setting that feels personal. Layered Notes brings together familiar fragrance notes in combinations that invite a closer look, from a touch of pepper against leather to tart fruit alongside earthy woods.

Start with a note you already love, then explore its companion. If vanilla is your favorite, try its pairing with whiskey or oakwood. If you enjoy floral scents, discover the deeper character of rose with oud incense or tuberose with leather. If freshness appeals to you, begin with pear, bamboo or coastal herbs.

Our 8 oz candles offer a way to explore these compositions in Luminous Wicks’ signature matte black vessels. Their understated appearance fits a bookshelf, side table or thoughtfully arranged living space. Let your fragrance choice reflect the atmosphere you enjoy, whether that feels warm and welcoming, fresh and expressive, or dark and softly wooded.

Created by Luminous Wicks in Huntington, West Virginia, Layered Notes celebrates fragrance with contrast and personality. It is also a thoughtful collection to explore when choosing a gift for someone who enjoys distinctive scents.
