River & Rift – The Wild Beauty of Water & Woodlands
Where the St. Lawrence River meets the Lake of the Isles, water carves through rugged landscapes, shaping the untamed beauty of the Thousand Islands. River & Rift captures this serene yet invigorating scene with a blend of fresh evergreens, soft florals, and warm woods—a scent that feels both crisp and comforting.
The fragrance opens with the clean, airy freshness of river mist and sunlit greenery, leading into a delicate heart of wild florals and earthy moss. Beneath it all, the grounding warmth of cedarwood, sandalwood, and amber lingers, evoking driftwood along the shore and the quiet hush of forest trails.
Light River & Rift and let its fresh, floral-woodsy embrace transport you to the windswept waters and hidden inlets of the Thousand Islands—where river meets lake, and nature’s beauty unfolds.

Candle Safety & Care
To ensure the best experience and a safe burn, follow these essential candle care guidelines:
✔️ Trim the Wick – Before each burn, trim the wick to ¼ inch to promote an even flame and minimize soot.
✔️ Burn Within Sight – Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from drafts, children, pets, and flammable objects.
✔️ Mind the Burn Time – Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time to prevent overheating. Allow the wax to fully melt to the edges during the first burn to prevent tunneling.
✔️ Safe Placement – Always place on a heat-resistant, stable surface away from anything that could catch fire.
✔️ Extinguish with Care – Use a candle snuffer to avoid smoke and wax splatter. Do not use water to extinguish.
✔️ Discontinue Use – Stop burning when ¼ inch of wax remains to prevent overheating the vessel.
✔️ Glass Safety – Discontinue use if the glass is cracked, chipped, or excessively hot to the touch.
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in fire, injury, or property damage. Always burn responsibly.
