Hey lovelies — Tarah here, owner & Master Blender at Scents by the Bay and eSCENTial Beauty💘

I’m so excited to release a new scent just in time for Valentine’s Day!

A version of this blend has been sitting in my vault for a long time. I always loved it, but I could never quite capture the emotion I wanted… until our new plum notes arrived ✨
It opens with white tea and black tea plum, melts into a heart of fig, plum, and violet, and finishes deep and warm with smooth sandalwood and seductive black saffron. It’s rich, romantic, and a little mysterious.

Now I need YOUR help naming it!
Vote for your favorite below — I’ll announce the winning name on Valentine’s Day and pick one voter to win a surprise gift 💌

Valentine’s Day just got a glow up 💘
Our limited release candles are poured into the cutest heart shaped ceramic bowls — a keepsake you’ll love long after the flame is gone. Cozy, romantic, and made to gift (or keep 😉). Available while they last!
