It’s not so neatly ordered
here. The fiumare surge and wane.
Fresh herbs bunch the countertops
and grasses green the sills. Mosaic tile fades to
a doorway open to the season,
looking on a terrace garden of bergamot,
whose bright spirit carries back to us on the breeze
in the kitchen once again, in a cycle, without end.
Poem by Matthew Kosinski
Olfactive Profile
Terraces draws inspiration from the stepped hillside farms of Calabria and the many paired associations of a terrace: effort and rest, greenery and architecture, growing and healing.
The scent begins with Calabrian Bergamot, a timeless citrus with unexpected depth — floral brightness giving way to warm resinous woods and fresh aromatic notes.
Note: If you detest cilantro, this scent may not be for you.
Perfect for welcoming the sunshine, starting a new chapter, or dreaming up a new garden.
The Hero: Bergamot
Our bergamot essential oil is particularly complex and sophisticated, showcasing green, zesty, citrusy, a touch of floralcy, and soft, resinous undertones.
Full Transparency
Our new Full Circle Collection takes a groundbreaking rigorous and minimalist approach to ingredients, highlighting exceptional all-natural extracts. Read more about all of the eight other 100% plant-based and 100% biodegradable ingredients:
Coriander Essential Oil
The clear vice-captain of Terraces, Coriander (also known as cilantro) provides power and shares some of Bergamot's citrus and aldehydic facets, making it a smooth partner in this scent. The oil is produced by steam distillation of the leaves and comes to us from Moldova.
Buchu Leaf Essential Oil
Buchu reinforces the zestiness of the bergamot, with mint-like aspects and a sulfuric note reminiscent of blackcurrants. The leaves, only obtainable from South Africa's Western Cape, are steam distilled to produce essential oil.
Galbanum Balsam Oil
Galbanum is a resin obtained from the gum of Ferula plants, grown in Iran and Afghanistan, that reinforces the Bergamot oil's woody and green facets. The resin is steam distilled to produce Galbanum essential oil.
Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender contributes fresh, herbal aromatic facets helping form round out the bergamot's natural context. Produced in Bulgaria by steam distillation of the flowers.
Linalyl Acetate (Natural Isolate)
Linalyl acetate is the principal building block of the smell of bergamot. We use it here both to raise the flashpoint of the formula and to reinforce our bergamot. To extract it naturally, we combine purified Ho Wood essential oil from China (also referred to as linalool) with acetic acid, obtained by fermenting ethanol (itself derived from sugarcane, corn or cellulose).
Terpineol (Natural Isolate)
Terpineol contributes a powerful clean and orange blossom note and helps with the overall scent throw of the candle. Pine tree resin is distilled to produce turpentine oil, which is then fractionated (split into component parts through boiling or other similar methods). One of the resulting components (alpha-pinene) is then hydrated (mixed with water) with a catalyst to produce terpineol. It is sourced from various countries.
Triethyl Citrate (Solvent)
The primary purpose of using a solvent in candle fragrance is to make the fragrance blend more easily with
the wax and ensure that it is evenly distributed throughout the candle, contributing to a good burn and good
scent performance.
Despite its hard-to-pronounce name, Triethyl Citrate ("Tri" for short) is produced simply by combining
sugarcane alcohol with citric acid obtained from plant starch or citrus fruits.

Candle Burning Tips
Following your first burn, each time you use your candle, trim the wick to 3⁄8” (about the width of your pinky finger) before you light it. This helps ensure a smaller, safer flame and less soot.
Each time you burn your candle, burn it for 2-3 hours. This will not only maximize the fragrance throw, but also help avoid "tunneling," where the candle burns down the middle, leaving wax around the edges.
For safety reasons:
▶ Don’t burn your candle when less than a 1/2” of wax remains.
▶ Never leave a burning candle unattended!

option at checkout (Air or Priority), the matches will be excluded from your order.
