Smells like...

Heaven.  With West Third Brand , we have chosen something wonderful;   unique scents, clean burn, aesthetically pleasing artesian candles made with essential oils and dimensional fragrance blends, hand crafted in California.  

At Weller, we offer the Classic Stock Glass Jar Candles packaged in canvas drawstring sacks which burn for a marathon 95 hours and also the hand wrapped wax paper Spell Candles with secret formulas and names such as Bonne Chance, Les Amoureux, Abundance and C'est La Vie,  complete with "cures" on the label in old world apothecary style.  West Third Brand expertly combines aromatherapy with old world styling - and none of the obvious pomp and frivolity.   


Personally, I would rather fresh air than any of the popular brightly artificially colored and scented candles which offer nothing but sickly, overdone, cloying, synthetic, headache inducing smells.  Refreshingly, West Third is nothing of the sort, nothing excessive or unnecessary, pure conscious craftsmanship.  


West Third Brand has created some subtle (and some quite rich) fragrances that need only be burned for minimal periods of time (thus extending their already laudable burn life).  At Weller, we enjoy imbuing our space with their more subtle blends (typically Santal Blanc, Vanille de Santos, L'Orangerie, or with the arrival of spring, a new favorite, Fleur de Citron) - and are struck by the balance reached between exotic notes (for example, ylang ylang, amber, tonka bean, orris root, sicilian bergamot...) and those unexpected (fennel, cucumber, raw sugar, bourbon, honey, cocoa, tobacco leaf).  We appreciate a candle which does not dominate, but rather compliments and strives to both invoke and create experience.  We are so pleased that West Third is of the same mind.


Founder Michael Loring Probst has "assembled ideas and aesthetics of vintage Americana with a fine weave of European splendor.  West Third Brand's coherent style, which never seems to try too hard, takes us on a humble journey back to another time."
