Lyset i Stille Nord

The throw is surprisingly strong for a resale candle—I can smell the leather and vanilla from across the room, not just right on top of it. The citrus keeps it from getting too sweet, which I appreciate. It’s become my go-to for winding down after work.

I’m on my second burn now and the cold citrus up top fades into that warm vanilla and resin base just as described—it genuinely feels like the room got wrapped in a dry blanket. The leather note keeps it from being too sweet, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

The first time I lit it, the room instantly smelled like a leather jacket left in the sun with a whisper of citrus behind it. That vanilla and resin warmth really does stick around for hours, making my whole apartment feel like a cozy blanket fresh from the dryer.
