Petaluma holds a special place in our family’s story.
It’s where we met our long-awaited pup, Mookie. A town filled with blooming flowers, rolling greenery, and small-town charm that feels both vibrant and welcoming.
There’s an ease to it. Color. Character. A sense of warmth that lingers long after you leave.
That feeling inspired PETALUMA — expressive, joyful, and unforgettable. A fragrance designed to feel full of life while remaining beautifully composed.

Candle Care
➕ On your first use, burn your candle for 2 hours to allow the wax to melt evenly to the edge of the jar.
➕ after your candle cools, wipe any black residue off of the top with a paper towel to keep it looking good as new!
➕ Always trim the wick to 1/4 inch before relighting to avoid a large flame, smoking and wax discoloration.
➕ Fluctuations in temperature can cause the wax to contract and pull away from the sides of the glass. This is common when candles are shipped or stored in environments with varying temperature. Once the candle is lit, you will see the contraction of the wax correct itself.
Product Details
We use a proprietary blended soy/vegetable wax, phthalate-free premium fragrance oil, and lead-free wick.

One of my favorite scents along with Colony
Great scent.
Smells so good!
Wow, these candles are amazing! Not only do they have a sleek, beautiful design that looks stunning in any room, but they smell incredible as well. The scents are luxurious, long-lasting, and fill the space without being overpowering. My favorite is Lido—it has the perfect balance of freshness and sophistication. These candles make my home feel warm, inviting, and elevated. I will definitely be purchasing more and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high-quality candle that looks as good as it smells.

I'm in love with this candle! It smells romantic, relaxing, and it reminds me so much of my late grandmother. Thank you for the rush of memories that came flooding back in when I first burned it. It burns slow, lasts a long time and the fragrance has never faded. I am going straight to order a replacement now!
This is hands down the most elegant candle I have ever had! The packaging is classy and the fragrance is beyond amazing. Light, floral, soft and feminine.
I love candles but most of them just smell like burnt candle wax. This one smells fantastic. They are expensive but they actually smell like a scent. I love this candle but wish they were a lot bigger for the price.
