MARGARET [currant] CANDLE

HURRICANE GIFT CANVAS BAG

A sophisticated, layered fragrance designed for meaningful gifting.

MARGARET is a refined currant-forward hurricane candle with depth, brightness, and quiet warmth. It opens with pink currant, grapefruit, and quince — fresh and modern — before unfolding into a soft floral heart of rose petals, white jasmine, and lily of the valley. A warm base of cedarwood, sandalwood, and musk grounds the scent, creating a balanced fragrance that feels confident, polished, and effortlessly composed.

Bright without being sharp. Musky without feeling heavy. Expressive without ever overwhelming the room.

Poured into backhouse’s signature hurricane glass, MARGARET fills a space with presence and intention. It’s a natural choice for housewarmings, thoughtful thank-you gifts, and elevated everyday living.

Gift-ready and thoughtfully finished, MARGARET is a luxury musk candle designed to linger — distinctive, memorable, and easy to give.

MARGARET represents new beginnings.

For my husband and me, it's tied to a story that came full circle — young love, time apart, and finding our way back to each other years later.

I still remember the rich scent of currant he burned in his Corona del Mar bachelor pad. Warm. Familiar. Comforting in a way that lingered. 

Life moved quickly after that. We married. Blended our family. Created a home on Margaret Drive, where new memories continue to unfold.

 New beginnings keep unfolding — and 890 is Backhouse's newest home, where the next chapter is already taking shape.

That sense of nostalgia layered with possibility is what inspired MARGARET — a fragrance that feels meaningful, expressive, and deeply personal. Designed to honor where you've been while making space for what comes next.

Scent Glossary

APOLENA [sea salt]

key notes: sea salt, sage, ambrette seed

Our favorite mild fragrance showcases the beautiful complexities of sea notes. Composed of sea salt, sage, and ambrette seed, it evokes feelings of freedom and pleasure, like an enjoyable walk along Balboa Island on a beautiful summer morning.

COLONY [cassis]

key notes: cassis, bergamot, musk

Create a welcoming mood with this warm and sophisticated scent that begins with bergamot and cassis, developed over a white rose and musk.  Perfect for a cocktail hour with friends or while relaxing with your favorite book (or social media site:)

GROVE [orange blossom]

key notes: orange blossom, jasmine, bergamot

Transport yourself to a grove of orange trees, with their tiny white flowers in bloom. This light but strong scent will take you there.

HARRIETS TREE [grapefruit]

key notes:  grapefruit, peach, berries

A vibrant citrus fragrance that illustrates invigorating notes of tropical fruits, crisp citrus, and exotic greens.  It is light and sweet, while still noticeable in your surrounding space.

JACK [pumpkin]

key notes: pumpkin, cinnamon, vanilla

A sophisticated fall fragrance with top notes of cinnamon and vanilla which intermingle with baked pumpkin, while graham cracker base notes add a creamy, toasty character. An ode to special times together as we begin the holiday season carving pumpkins into Jack-o'-lanterns.

LIDO [sandalwood]

key notes: sandalwood, musk, violet

This bestselling scent is warm and comforting, highlighting its creamy facets while balancing the sharpness of sandalwood paired with sweet violet and woodsy musk.  Perfect for any occasion and any time of year.

LITTLE BRANCH [amber]

key notes: amber, sage, oakmoss

This captivating fragrance begins with hints of citrus and an infusion of sage that enhance the natural, earthy quality. Lavender adds a soft floral and herbal touch to the heart of this scent, while amber and oakmoss round out the base for a beautiful, deep character.

MARGARET [currant]

key notes: currant, musk, rhubarb

A sophisticated and playfully sweet scent with aspects of pink currant and rhubarb over a heart of white jasmine petals and musky base.  A wonderful balance of notes will light up the room for any occasion.

MR. DOUGLAS [pine]

key notes: pine, cedarwood, fir

Our popular pine scented candle that makes you think “Christmas time”, with mild citrus top notes, earthy undercurrents of cedar and evergreen, and a woody, fir base. But for some, the scent of pine is a year-round fav, like taking a hike on your favorite pine tree lined trail.

PETALUMA [berry]

key notes: berry, pink peppercorn, rose petals

The tangy richness of freshly picked blackcurrant berries and lively accents of flowery rose petals create this light, floral, and feminine scent.

The scent is amazing!

I was on a trip when I first smelled a Backhouse Fragrances candle. My husband and I were transfixed and immediately began searching where to find one to purchase. The team at BHF was incredibly helpful, positive, kind and generous with their time. We packed it in our carry on for the flight and TSA even commented on the great scent while examining it :) BHF made our trip even more memorable.

The BEST out there!

I am a candle person! And I love beautiful, well-packaged, and highly scented ones! ESPECIALLY if they look and smell way more expensive than they are! Backhouse candles are my very favorite! This small business is working hard to produce a beautiful product that has a clean-burning scent in a gorgeous glass, and you just can’t get much better! Just order one, or a few, even! Margaret is my favorite, but I’ve truly liked or loved every one I’ve tried!

My favorite candles ever

Backhouse candles are by far my favorite. I find myself reaching for them consistently over more known luxury brands. They burn so clean and never have that artificial scent. I typically go for a warm scent, but Margaret is great to mix things up. It’s bright and sweet, just put you in a happy mood. While I definitely have my faves, I don’t dislike a single Backhouse scent, I’d repurchase every one I’ve tried.

Beautiful and Fragrant

I was gifted this candle and adore it! The packaging is lovely and the scent divine! It burns well and the scent carries nicely in the home. The naming of the candle Margaret is so special, it was my late aunt's name. The typography on the glass is clean and classy. I definitely will purchase again and cannot wait to try other scents.

Oh so happy

I can’t say enough about these wonderful candles!! I won’t burn another candle in my house. These burn so clean and down to absolutely no residue. There isn’t any wasted candle on the sides or bottom. The clear glass is so beautiful as it burns. ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!! Margaret, Harriet’s Tree, and Mr. Douglas are my favorites so far!! I can’t wait for the fall scent, Jack! This sweet company has the best customer service also! Fast shipping with a sweet personal note inside! Backhouse has candles and business figured out for sure!! 5 Star Company!!

Margaret is the BOMB

I am beyond excited. Was sharing your website with a friend today to show her my favorite scents and was beyond thrilled to see Margaret comes in a clear glass! Ordering up candles this week. This, along with Harriett's Tree are my two all-time faves.
