Arctic Tides draws inspiration from our founders' summer travels to Lofoten, Norway. Light it and be transported to this remote archipelago above the Arctic Circle, where the scent is briny, crisp, and refreshingly ozonic.

Both invigorating and serene, the fragrance echoes the rugged coastlines, deep fjords, and white sand beaches kissed by crystal-clear turquoise waters—capturing the magical essence of this otherworldly destination.

Scent Experience

Initial impression: A cool rush of peppermint and tart citrus, as lemon, orange and petitgrain energize the senses
Mid burn: Herbal palmarosa and geranium bring a gentle floral sweetness, mellowing the fresh top notes
Finish: Warm cedarwood and earthy amyris ground the scent, leaving a sooting, woodsy finish

How to make

Selecting a suitable vessel

As a rule of thumb, stick to tumblers, cups, and jars that can withstand heat, and won’t leak, crack, or catch fire.

Good

  • Glazed ceramic
  • Sturdy glass
  • Sealed metal tins
  • Enamel
  • Approx. 3" diameter

Bad

  • Porous ceramic ie. terra cotta
  • Wood, coconut shells, plastic
  • All flammable materials
  • Unable to hold water
  • Easily tips over
Making

Remove accessories from bag. Microwave open bag of wax upright in a microwave-safe dish for two minutes or until all wax is melted. Thread wick through wick holder and center in a suitable vessel approximately 3" in diameter*. Pour liquid wax into vessel and let set for two hours. Trim wick and enjoy!

*Our wicks are designed for 3" diameter vessels. If using a larger or oddly shaped vessel we recommend making a multi-wick candle to prevent tunneling. We sell extra wicks in the shop for this purpose.

Sustainability

We are a climate-first company. We take the time to measure our impact, and continuously look for ways to reduce that impact. Sustainability is one of our core business values and guides us in everything we do. For us, being sustainable means minimizing our carbon footprint, creating goods that last longer — less shipping, less waste, more value for you — and considering the circularity of our products and shipping materials.

Here's what we're doing:
  • Our candles are packaged in a 100% compostable bag, when disposed of properly in a home or industrial compost facility, end-of-life is a return to its organic state i.e. soil.
  • Our bag manufacturer offsets their own impact by removing plastic from the ocean in the same weight of the packaging they sell.
  • Our shipping materials are plastic free and recyclable.
  • We use a coconut blend wax that burns longer and requires less water and pesticides to grow than other common candle wax crops.
  • We work with top perfumers (the same ones behind many of your other favorite fragrance brands) to create our scents with a mix of fragrance and essential oils. We never use harsh chemicals, parabens or phthalates. And our essential oils can be traced from seed to scent to maintain the highest standard of ethics in production, for people and planet.
  • We encourage people to reuse vessels they already have, but if you need a vessel — ours are made to last a lifetime.
  • With the help of Pachama, we measure and offset our carbon emissions in full every year, since our founding year in 2019.

      Arctic Tides — Peppermint, Geranium, Cedarwood

      Arctic Tides

      Isabelle Reilo Riis

      "I hope they see the painting as a reflection of themselves, as full of life and contrasts, with beautiful depths and wonders, as magical, mystical, light, free and ALIVE creatures. Just like the sea. Just like life. Breathing the ebbs and flows of the tides, feeling the splashes, and riding the waves."

      - Isabelle

      Meet Isabelle Reilo Riis

      While in Lofoten we were lucky enough to stumble into an incredible artist — Isabelle Reilo Riis — to help us bring this scent to life through an original artwork. Isabelle is a Lofoten / Oslo-based Norwegian painter who specializes in abstract style. Her work is often fantastically colorful and draws inspiration from the stunning nature of the far north.

      Only the good stuff

      • Planet-friendly packaging

        Packaged in 100% compostable bags, our Clean Candle Refills are light to ship (lower emissions) and let you reuse favorite vessels.

      • Eco coconut blend wax

        Coconut throws scent farther and burns longer. Plus, they take less water and pesticides to grow than other common candle wax crops.

      • Clean fragrances

        We use safe fragrance and ethically sourced essential oils. They’re free of phthalates, parabens and sulfates, always.

      • American made

        Before you pour it into your favorite vessel at home, each candle is expertly crafted and hand-poured into our compostable bags in the USA.

      We're not perfect, we're in progress

      Bluebird helps us to track our progress — turns out our Clean Candles create 76% less waste and 34% less carbon emissions than a traditional candle when you reuse and refill your own vessels. But this journey to do better by people and planet is far from over.
