🎃P O R T S I D E P U M P K I N🎃 is back!
One of our most classically sweet fall scents, this cozy favorite is everything we love about autumn in a candle. Warm spiced pumpkin, cinnamon, and sweet vanilla come together for a nostalgic fall feeling we can’t get enough of. This year, Portside Pumpkin is available in our 12-ounce hand poured candle!
We loved the illustrations on last year’s holiday scents so much, we asked artist Lulu Dubreuil Lululanantaise to bring our new fall candles to life. This scent has a familiar warmth reminiscent of cherished family recipes passed down and shared at the dock’s edge.
Portside Pumpkin is available now online, in store, and at select retailers nationwide! 🍂🕯️

We couldn’t pick just one fall scent this year. This season we’re releasing TWO limited edition candles, including a nostalgic past scent making its return!
🍎A D M I R A L S A P P L E🍐 is one of our newest candle scents, a past favorite returning this year as a limited edition fall candle, and we are already burning through our first one! A rich, unique blend of red apple and bergamot layered with pear nectar, apple blossom, and soft musk. Crisp, cozy, and coastal all at once!!
We loved the illustrations on last year’s holiday scents so much, we asked artist Lulu Dubreuil Lululanantaise to also bring our new fall candles to life. Warm autumn light, rich navy and red tones, and a touch of nautical whimsy capture the spirit of Admiral’s Apple. ⚓
Available online now, in store, and select retailers across the country in our hand poured soy wax candles! 💙

These pretty pieces are what’s left over after we’ve cut our bar soaps! 🧼

Step back in time with us! Long before we opened our retail storefront’s doors, 409 King Street was already built into Charleston’s history.
Fully constructed by 1810, this building functioned first as a residence and all-girls seminary school, and finally an apothecary. The Aimar family operated their apothecary here for over 100 years until they closed their doors in 1978 and the building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
We’ve called the Radcliffe-Aimar Building home for 6 years now. Getting to write our story inside such a preserved piece of history isn’t something we take for granted. Thank you for 14 years of business, here’s to many more chapters ahead! 💙
It’s surprising how little the architecture has changed after 100 years! We’re pretty sure we still have the same entry doors as the first photo. 😂
