Midnight in the Garden Candle

As the voodoo priestess Minerva famously warns during her late-night cemetery workings, “The half hour before midnight is for doing good, the half hour after is for doing evil.” Inspired by that delicate threshold and the haunting, moss-draped magic of Savannah, Georgia, this candle captures the intoxicating atmosphere of a Southern flower garden heavy with the anticipation of rain. It opens with a crisp rush of cucumber, bright bergamot, and a breath of cool marine mist cutting through the heavy night air. As the scent blooms, it reveals a sweet botanical heart of magnolia, cherry blossom, peony, and freesia unfolding before a summer storm. A steady base of damp soil, patchouli, and moss grounds the florals, softened by a smooth layer of powdery amber to echo the mysterious depth of a Savannah night.

Garnished with magnolia petals - a nod to the dual nature of Southern magic, where the bloom can be used to banish negative energies or cast a baneful spell - and finished with labradorite to shield your energy and spark spiritual awakening. Light Midnight in the Garden when you want to protect your peace, honor the mysteries of the night, or do a little working of your own - on either side of midnight.
