“Smells exactly like the desert after a monsoon — a little piece of home.”

Desert Icon

Creosote is a scent that sears itself in memory with the anticipation of electrified skies, churning winds, and a sudden rush of rain. Before the storm, the desert hums. The wind shifts and the air carries that unmistakable green, resinous scent of the creosote bush. When the rain comes, ozone, earth, and water mingle into something so deeply tied to the desert that those who know it feel it in their bones. Wild-harvested by our own hands from the Arizona Sonoran Desert, the creosote is infused into each candle, preserving the soul of the monsoon.

Use & Care
Before lighting, trim the wick to about a quarter inch and place your candle on a protected surface, like a coaster. For the best burn, let the wax pool all the way to the edges of the jar each time and keep the wick centered and away from the sides. Never burn for more than four hours at a time, and stop once only a quarter inch of wax remains. Always burn within sight, away from drafts, and out of reach of children or pets. Don’t move a candle while it’s burning or right after extinguishing it. When your candle’s finished, clean out the jar and give it a new life as a vase, or pencil cup.

I am loving my new Creosote candle from Bisbee. It has a subtle fragrance of creosote, reminiscent of the desert after a rain. Will be enjoying for months to come!

Not disappointed

I bought this from a random Reddit users' recommendation and I am not disappointed. It smells like the desert after rain. I use a candle warmer instead of burning them, and it has good throw - the aroma fills my apartment. Unboxing also revealed a little rubber duck which was adorable and made me smile.
