After Hours™ Candle No. 1 — Closer.

Light the candle. Leave the day behind.

The hour you keep losing.

Light Closer. when After Hours begins. Over time, the scent becomes a signal: the day is over, the phones go down, and this part of the night belongs to you.

10 oz · ~60-hour burn · After Hours matchbox included

THE PAUSE: THE TRANSITION

Sometimes the hardest part is getting out of the day and into the night.

One of you checks something.
Then the other one does.
The show keeps playing.
The phones come out.

Eventually, it’s time for bed.

Nothing went wrong.

You just never arrived.

Closer. was designed for that hour. Not the one you don’t have. The one you already have—and keep losing.

WHY IT’S DIFFERENT

Most candles are designed to make a room smell good.
This one is designed to signal a shift.

Reserve the same scent for the same part of the night, and it becomes part of the ritual.

Light it when After Hours begins. Not all day. Not whenever.

Protect the ritual.

The match. The scent. The signal.

THE SCENT

Smoke, then skin.

It opens with charred bergamot—smoky, dry and slightly bitter. Black rose follows, softened by jasmine and sage, before settling into amber musk, sandalwood and our signature beeswax accord.

Warm. Close. A little impossible to describe.

Opens
Charred bergamot

Settles

Stays

Not sweet. Not floral. Not a spa candle.

Four rounds with our perfumer. More than two dozen formulas.

This is the one we kept lighting.

THE RITUAL

Light it when After Hours begins.

Phones down.
Lights low.
Stay a little longer.

Burn for one to three hours. Tomorrow, do it again.

Eventually, you’ll strike the match and know exactly what time it is.

WHY IT’S DIFFERENT

Most candles smell good.

This one gets better over time.

Scent reaches memory and emotion faster than almost any other sense. That’s why certain fragrances instantly transport you somewhere.

Closer was designed to become one of those memories.

The more often you light it together, the stronger that association becomes.

Eventually, lighting it doesn’t just change the room.

It changes how the evening begins.
