The holiday season has always been a time of gathering.
Choosing a tree together. Cold air. The unmistakable scent of pine drifting through the night.
There’s something grounding about that moment — crisp, comforting, and quietly nostalgic.
That memory inspired our pine scent. A fragrance designed to capture winter greenery with warmth and softness. Familiar, but elevated. Rooted in tradition, yet easy to live with.
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.
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.

I bought one as a gift for a girlfriend. She has not lit it. I received mine as a gift from a neighbor. I love the clean fresh smell. I burn it often. Will be purchasing a new one soon.
I was browsing the internet for a gift favor for my daughter’s wedding and I came across this brand. I messaged the them and they responded right away and sent me all the candle samples to smell in person. Daniele was very helpful and assisted me all the way. The scents were amazing . Customer service is phenomenal. They packaged it very well. I ordered 12 large gift boxes. I am beyond happy and met all my expectations. Will ordering more next time

Perfectly packaged!
I ordered three of these as gifts and Backhouse texted me directly to ask if I wanted individual thank you notes for each one! Talk about customer service!
Plus the candles are fabulous.
Truly the BEST house-warming gifts ever!
I have been ordering these amazing candles for years. My best friend gifted me one, and now anytime I can I gift them to others. The packaging on the gift boxes is beautiful and looks very posh:) You will not go wrong ordering from them!
I honestly couldn't be happier with my purchase! The candle gift box is absolutely beautiful and feels so thoughtful and high quality. It makes the perfect gift for any occasion. What really stood out, though, was the amazing customer service. I needed it the same day, and they went above and beyond to make it happen. They were so kind, helpful, and responsive throughout the whole process. If you're looking for the ultimate gift, this is it. Highly recommend, and I'll definitely be ordering again!
Love these candles. They are my go to gift.
The presentation of the candle and accessories is so perfect. It’s so nice to gift someone such a wonderful great smelling and burning candle. A true treat to give and receive.
This is my go to hostess gift. The scents are universally pleasing and the packaging is perfection. The attention to detail in the presentation puts this set over the top. I can’t imagine someone who wouldn’t feel so loved when receiving this! . 10/10
These candles are the best! All my holiday orders arrived seamlessly and the presentation is top notch! Friends de and family loved their candles!
My family recipients of these lovely candles are always so delighted and impressed - both with the quality of the candles, and extras, and also the beautiful boxed presentation. Thank you, Backhouse team!
I absolutely love this company. The candles are amazing and smell so good! They don’t smoke like some do and they make great gifts. I was born and raised in Newport Beach so the names/scents have special meaning to me. Plus I love supporting small business owners. Well done!!!
I've been sending Backhouse candle gift sets for years to friends, family, and myself. Truly the best way to let someone know you are thinking of them. And I continue sending them seasonly to family. Everyone loves the clean, luxury aesthetic that goes with any decor, the beautiful scents that fill the room with "just right" fragrance, and even the polished packaging. Most times a little sweet surprise is included, like a dish towel, bag, notebook, a note from Danielle etc. Perfection...
i just love Backhouse Fragrances-the packaging is so gorgeous, the products are superb and the customer service is wonderful!!!
A Backhouse candle is hands down, my favorite gift. From the packaging to the scent to the extra special “hand poured in Newport Beach” detail, I know I can count on rave reviews every time. I’ve used them for work gifts and for friends and family across the country and everyone is wowed!
I buy only these candles for myself and send to my clients as gifts. They smell great and last a long time.
This is the best hostess gift. I love it and so does everyone I send it to!
Beautifully packaged, arrived on time, and the recipient absolutely loved it!
After receiving a holiday candle gift box as a present and being so impressed with the packaging,presentation and product, I have ordered multiple times as gifts for friends. Each time, the service is so speedy and the products are amazing and very well received. This is my go to for quality, impressive gifts.
This was an amazing box to do for corporate gifting and backhouse was incredible to work with to customize labels, tags and cards for each gift box. They also shipped directly to our clients which helped during one of our busiest seasons. We received so many rave reviews and comments from our partners who received them about the incredible scents and beautiful packaging. Exceeded expectations for a high level gift experience for corporate gifting. Definitely recommend and plan to use again!
I've gifted this box to many friends and clients—it's always a hit. The presentation is elegant, the scents are absolutely incredible, and it never fails to deliver a "wow" factor. I loved it so much, we even created a custom version for our clients during the holidays—and it was a huge success!
Beautiful presentation, impeccable packaging, excellent customer service! I will be a loyal customer forever! The quality is amazing and the fragrance fills the room almost instantly! Thank you!
This place has the best products and customer service. Fast shipping and favulous owner!
I received my order and I must say, the packaging was beautiful, every attention to detail was given, it kept surprising me as I opened each candle and enjoyed smelling all the lovely sample fragrances you sent with my order. I have not had this type of satisfaction from a purchase in a long time! Well done and excellent!!
I love everything about Backhouse. The very best candles and amazing customer service. Personal attention and email replies are amazing. I’m in Texas and these are my favorite candles.
I came across Backhouse Fragrances simply by accident. I was searching for a gift box for our annual management Christmas dinner. Most of the boxes I searched had the usual items, but Backhouse Fragrances had something unique and beautifully packaged. I ordered 20 Merry Hand Wash Gift Boxes. The personal response from Danielle through email and text messages was outstanding. The boxes arrived on time and were all intact. The candle is in a heavy glass jar and smells heavenly. The hand wash also has a wonderful scent and does not dry out my hands. The boxes were a hit at the party! Thank you, Danielle and the backhouse team for creating a beautiful product.
Backhouse candles are the best! My daughter-in-law gifted me Mr. Douglas for Christmas a couple of years ago, and i have since ordered several for gifts. All the scents are great; Mr. Douglas is my favorite. I love the piney fragrance all through the house, and I burn it all through the holiday season and beyond! Your packaging and service are fantastic!
Gave a gift box to a family member who watched my baby as a thank you! It’s my favorite thing to gift people. Everyone loves them! We love backhouse! Highly recommend!
I selected this beautiful gift box as a sympathy gift - I think it is perfect!
