February 2026: Darkly Devoted

February 2026: Darkly Devoted

FROM THE WORK TABLE
Our approach to our February seasonal release was never been about roses and boxes of chocolates.Sometimes it's about being devoted to yourself instead. Our Valentine collection service two needs: gifts for those who have a special someone )or a bestie Galentine) or simply a gift to yourself. A special something to get through the tough, long winter when you need a mood lift.

SCENT FOCUS
February may be the shortest month on the calendar, but for me, it feels very long. Winter feels like it's dragging on, the cold dreary New England weather can start taking a toll at this point. This month we may be looking for some uplifting scents to help get us though. 

February’s Candle of the Month, Til Death 
Sweet coconut and sugar create a creamy softness, vanilla and a hint of jasmine, amber, patchouli, and gentle musk ground the fragrance adding warmth and grounding the fragrance.

Companion scents: to deepen February's energy
Midnight Amber for warmth and emotional comfort

WITH LOVE, FROM SALEM
February is when Salem starts to emerge from hibernation to fill downtown again. One of our favorite community events of the year, Salem's So Sweet chocolate + ice sculpture festival takes place February 6-8. Elements of the festival include 25+ ice sculptures (we will be sponsoring one again!) around Salem (with evening illumination Friday and Saturday nights), a ticketed kick-off party Friday night and many promotions throughout the small businesses all weekend. 

WHAT'S NEW / WHAT'S NEXT
Our limited seasonal Gothic Valentine collection is going strong. The collection features [whatever scents we're highlighting] in limited quantities. A fun way to lighten your life, set some time aside to devote to yourself and engage in your nightly rituals.
