Tatine Candles | Chicago, IL

Soft Fragrant Fires for After Dark or Dreamy Afternoons.  Each natural wax candle is composed of an exquisite blend of bespoke perfume oils and essential oils and poured into artisan mouth-blown glassware exclusive to Tatine, crafted to be drink safe. Gently hand wash or place the glass in the dishwasher for use at your next celebration and let it live uniquely on. Candles are free of petroleum-derived paraffin, phthalate-free, and are crafted with cotton wicking.

The petite candles are tinted black with ingredients extracted from vegetable oils that are both Prop65 and REACH compliant. Inky black when lit, a light grey crystallization or texture may appear on the unlit candle surface. This is considered a unique part of working with natural colorants.

The boxes are printed in Chicago with craft manufacturing, adorned with locally-sourced, 100% recyclable labels featuring a kindred design collaboration between two Chicago female artists and Tatine, working in shared inspiration from music, poetry, and abstract painting. Flatten the beautiful origami-style box, as the scent of each candle leaves its mark and can be slipped into a drawer to emit a delicate fragrance.

Bitter Orange & Lavender - Rooted in ancient lore, lavender's potent herb still casts a spell in our gardens, where we long to emerge from remoteness and place ourselves inside the signs of spring where a thousand orange groves blossom, flavoring the air and stirring the heart. Tart citrus Seville orange oil stirred with bright notes of marmalade and a whirl of dark orange bitters are combined with fragrant Barreme lavender, finished with chalky soil, floral notes, and a hint of mango extract. ⁣⁣

Fig - An herbaceous aroma with boozy dried fruits, sweet sunburnt red fruit, and mulberry. Woody crushed fig tree leaves infuse with aromatic greens. 

Flowers on the Hillside - Beds of clover and dark green grasses in heavenly realms. Oakmoss mixes with rose oil and geranium bourbon leading to a dry down of lemon oil and moss—the wildings of nature that lull you back to the summer of your dreams. A deep green fragrance dotted with wildflowers on a hillside and sword-shaped grasses that pierce our hearts and memories.⁣⁣⁣

Forest Floor - An earth perfume with mushroom nuances, mists of rain soaked ferns, and the earthen smell of dark green moss covering the cool, damp dirt of the forest floor. A dreamlike atmosphere emulating the forest and all its beauty.

Garden Mint - Sparkling with lemon tea and the extraordinary extract of Schinus molle, also known as pink peppercorn. Ethically harvested and distilled in Lima, Peru, the essential oil is purified in France by a soft molecular distillation process and then blended into our fragrance for its gorgeous Evergreen character and feeling of sweet solace. An incredibly lush and herbal aromatic garden mint braided with berries, ginger, eucalyptus and delicate jasmine petals. ⁣⁣

Holy Basil - Dark green herbal notes blended with wild meadow grasses, cannabis, and sacred basil. Drops of dark violet oil, anise, and garden mint round out top notes of Absinthe, clove buds, and green vine tomato. A spiritual ceremony, an offering.

Kashmir - Kashmir is a fragrant unisex blend of ethically harvested sandalwood oil, white incense, and dry woody amber oil. Gunpowder and saffron tea notes anchor creamy, soft orientalist spices. Drops of exquisite magnolia flower, vanillin and musk rest in the base to create a powdery haze. Total aphrodisiac. Crank it...

Pine - Woody evergreen notes blended with balsam oil. A sweet forest aroma with both crisp and warm resinous notes. Inspired by the whispering pines of Northern Wisconsin, holding strong personal memories. An aroma for all seasons.

Sanctuary - A home so generous and soothing with an atmosphere of voluptuary sweetness⁣⁣. A soft, golden glow emanates peacefulness through warm and sensual perfume notes. Sparkling mimosa, ginger, and coriander scent the air. Delicate iris petals and temple sandalwood add depth to a ritual of light. 

Soft Lanterns - A loose groove of tobacco flower and cinnamon leaf drops into a soulful woodsy potion with an echo of mandarin, white thyme, and carnation. A long slow fade-in of powdery musk base notes and highly alluring warm amber accords emote a sensual appeal. A floating harmony illuminated from within, shining through clouds of sweet smoke of opopanax resin and creamy iris. Inside the scent's gentle glow, a dark fire burns with earthy patchouli and cedarwood for an olfactive journey of love, courage, mystical rhythms and revolution transcending both time and space. Feel them spirit.

The Coast Road - A slow burn carried aloft by the sense of transcendent joy that comes from foraging out at the edges of things. Illuminated by scent memory from travels and the undeniably pretty leftover unfinished reel from the after sessions of David Crosby's first solo record-⁣The Coast Road⁣⁣⁣…is a wafting sillage of orange blossoms and lime, ⁣⁣salty mandarin zest, Italian lemon, and soft sage stacked on harmonies of coriander, delicate jasmine, and creamy aromatic vapors of sandalwood, cedar, and guiac wood. Maritime pine floats on top of melodic, effervescent waves of scented dark blue waters ⁣⁣along sun-swept coastal roads where the sea's music meets the earth's perfumes. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣The music feels the way a dream sounds when you try to retell it in the morning: foggy, only loosely coherent, dissolving in real-time.⁣
