Jurassic Vanilla Candle

8oz

When Vanilla is at home, climbing up the forest canopy, there is nothing anonymous or simple about its scent.

There’s a gentle steaminess that feels lightly green, softly humid, suggesting the Yucatán jungle where it grows. Split a pod open, and the whole world comes crashing down: green, creamy, with a hint of wood and smoked Saffron. Then, the orchid itself, blooming just once a day per year, resembling the waxy ghost of a flower, pale and translucent, its scent carrying hints of Almond milk and green Banana peel.

Inspired by a wild new varietal of Vanilla found at Mestiza de Indias, our friend Gonzalo's jungle sanctuary for rare and endangered species, this Candle is Vanilla stripped of its costume. No sugar, no cream, just a vegetal whisper of an entire ecosystem, expressed through a scent that refuses to be reduced to “sweet.” Anchored by Green Vanilla, fresh Cypress, sacred Guaiac, smoked Saffron, and a touch of Vetiver.

Fragrance

Fresh Cypress and sacred Guaiac recall the green hum of the forest, while Green Vanilla conjures the cool, milky sweetness of the orchid itself. Smoked Saffron carries the warmth and depth of the flowering pod, while Veitver grounds it all in the damp, mineral soil of the lush Yucatán jungle. Green, creamy, untamed.

Jurassic Vanilla Candle - Flamingo Estate

Deep in the low forests of the Yucatán, our friend and collaborator Gonzalo Samaranch has created a kind of botanical ark called Mestiza de Indias. Together with his wife, Martha Elena Chan Tuz, he tends 500 acres of dense, balmy jungle. A place of tangled vines, ancient trees, rare botanicals, and the thick green perfume of Mother Nature. Hidden beneath the canopy of trees is an exquisite new varietal of wild Vanilla, and the inspiration for this candle.

Here, Vanilla is allowed to behave as it always has; the vines climb through the native forest, they grow slowly in the shade, surrounded by the wild green life of the jungle. This candle is our ode to Vanilla in full expression: not the confection, but the living plant. The cool flower and the warm, fragrant pod. Tangled vines beneath a heavy green canopy. Juicy fruit and ancient woods grown in damp, mineral earth, warmed by Yucatán sun.

( Top Notes )

The fresh Vanilla pod, split open: creamy, green, and milky-soft. Warm, but never sugary, juicy Bergamot and smoked Saffron round out this sweet, botanical scent.

( Heart Notes )

Uplifting and aromatic, like the first deep inhale beneath the jungle canopy after a warm rain. Crisp and verdant, it opens the scent with a rush of bright, green clarity.

( Heart Notes )

( Base Notes )

Smoky, resinous woods rooted in damp, mineral earth. Haitian Vetiver grounds it in the jungle floor, creating a scent that lingers long after the flame is out.
