Creosote [Dry]
Amongst the chaparral - the plants that thrive in the high desert of West, TX and the Big Bend region - one plant reigns over the rest when it comes to scent and aura. Desert creosote is a chameleon of a plant. Warm, spicy and leathery when dry, but as soon as the clouds begin to churn around the Chisos range and the squall starts to move in, the creosote picks up the moisture and humidity in the air and gives off the most floral petrichor you’ve ever experienced.
As this July was one of the wettest rainy seasons that the park has experienced in decades, it seemed only fitting to include two presentations of this desert botanical.
Creosote (Dry) opens with notes of leathery saffron and dried orange pith. It unfurls a few warm notes of honey and amber before revealing a strong base of cedar and sandalwood. It is such a true representation of this plant that even as writing this description, I am transported right back to the vast landscape of Dark Sky country.
For an even stronger scent story in your home, we highly recommend burning this and Creosote (Wet) together and let the two scents weave together as if a squall was moving right through your space. Incredible for meditation and ritual.

CANDLE CARE / SAFETY
- FIRST BURN : allow enough burn time for a full and even melt pool to form. It doesn’t need to go allll the way to the edge, but closer than Creed, k? (*^ ‿ *)
- Always burn on a fire-resistant surface away from any drafts, children & pets.
- TRIM DAT WICK! Wooden wicks are not self-trimming, like cotton wicks — before re-lighting your candle, use a wick trimmer, nail clipper, or your fingers to remove previously charred material.
- Keep away from extreme heat and moisture.
- Optimal burn sessions are 2-4 hours - no more than 6 hours.
- Do not burn to the bitter end - you’re ready for a refill once you hit the last 1/4 inch of wax remaining in the jar!
