Mandarin & Sandalwood Candle

Mandarin & Sandalwood Candle

Elevate your atmosphere with the soothing depth of the Mandarin Sandalwood Candle, one of Bougie Hermit’s most grounding and emotionally clarifying scents.

Hand-poured in small batches in the UK, this signature candle is a comforting blend of warmth, citrus brightness, and gentle aromatics.

Crafted for those who seek stillness and refinement, the fragrance invites you into a world of slow rituals and mindful presence.

The aroma opens with juicy citrus and settles into wood, musk, and soft sweetness designed to comfort without overwhelming your senses.

Though not classified as aromatherapy, the scent profile is emotionally intentional, encouraging focus, calm, and centeredness through fragrance alone.

Fragrance Notes

Top Notes: Mandarin, Bergamot, and Chocolate

The experience begins with a bright burst of juicy mandarin and zesty bergamot vibrant and citrusy, yet surprisingly smooth and refined.

Soft cocoa notes follow subtly, adding a rounded richness that offsets the citrus with a touch of velvety, unexpected depth.

This sweet-citrus opening feels clean and joyful, making it a perfect start to a day or wind-down at golden hour.

Heart Notes: Lily, Lavender, and Guaiac wood
As the top notes fade, delicate florals emerge lily and calming lavender mingle with guaiac wood to anchor the fragrance with elegance.

These notes bring floral softness and just a touch of herbal character, inviting relaxation and balance into your personal space.

The woodiness from guaiac wood adds body to the florals, creating a serene core that feels natural, luxurious, and wholly intentional.

Base Notes: Sandalwood, Musk, Vanilla, Moss, Amber, and Caramel
The dry-down is a comforting tapestry of earthy sandalwood, soft musk, and creamy vanilla that lingers gently in the background.

Hints of moss and amber create grounding richness, while the faintest trace of caramel adds cozy warmth without becoming overly sweet.

This base composition gives the candle long-lasting appeal, settling beautifully into your space without dominating or cloying the air.
