    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.

    Already a Fan — Now Obsessed with the Custom Minis

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect team gift — and a great local find
    I've been a fan of Backhouse candles for a while, so when I discovered they do custom minis I immediately knew what we were doing for our next team event. So glad I found that option!
    We had people from out of town who'd never heard of them, so it was fun to introduce a Newport Beach gem while also giving something actually useful and beautiful. The customization was easy, the packaging feels genuinely elevated, and the scents are the real deal — not your typical branded swag.
    If you're looking for a team gift that feels personal and leaves a real impression, this is it.

    I love this company so much! They are pleasant to

    I love this company so much! They are pleasant to work with. Very accommodating. Their mini custom candles smell amazing. I’ve used them twice for a baby shower and now an 80th Birthday. I highly recommend them. I’m really happy with the whole process. Plus everyone loved the candles.

    I cannot think of a better bridal shower favor!

    I cannot think of a better bridal shower favor then the mini backhouse candle. The candle itself smells absolutely amazing AND the personalized label was the perfect added touch. The offering process was so easy and I really can’t wait to order more candles!

    My Guests Love My Parties!

    From the first time I used Backhouse candles at an event, I knew it was going to have to be my trademark.
    Working with Danielle is so easy…you can actually text her with any questions, or crazy requests, and she responds!
    I always seem to have something “special” I want to do, and she is ALWAYS accommodating.
    But more importantly…the candles! The scents are beautiful (always have a hard time deciding which I want) and the small tin candles make the perfect inexpensive place card take-away…Believe me when I say that my guests love them!
    These candles elevate the table decor for every wedding, shower, baby shower!
    Thanks Danielle, for always making me look so good!

    Baby shower hit

    Decided to get candles as a favor for a baby shower I was hosting. Danielle went above and beyond to help the mom to be and I create the perfect favor! They were so easy to work with, collaborating every step of the way and amazingly got 100 candles to Boston in less than 3 weeks. The candles were a huge hit with guests and we’ve been told by so many how amazing the scent is. Thank you to Danielle and her team for elevating our event!

    What can I say about Backhouse …

    I found Backhouse on a lark searching for unique and beautiful gifts for a small, intimate… very special affair.
    I was so thrilled, with my first experience that when expecting my 1st grandchild, I not only reordered from Backhouse, but I ordered 3x’s the product and the response and delight from my guests was equally wonderful.

    I will always purchase from Backhouse… The product and product presentation …100%, always!
    When you add into the product their attention to detail and customer emotion Hans down Backhouse always delivers!
    Backhouse is a brilliant decision.
    100% do business with Backhouse… MWalls…Buffalo NY

    The best gift for employees and clients!

    I’ve ordered Backhouse mini candles for our employees and everyone absolutely loved them - even the guys! I had individuals asking if I had anymore and where they could order them. I recently ordered some for a client event we hosted and it added such a special touch. The recipients felt so appreciated receiving such a nice little gift, and you’re still able to remind them of your brand or business in a subtle way. Danielle, the owner of Backhouse, is so responsive and easy to work with! It’s a no brainer to look to backhouse when I need to order corporate gifts.

    The perfect gift for guests!

    I’ve loved Backhouse candles for years, and I recently ordered some custom mini candles for my baby shower as gifts for our guests and it was the best decision! Not only did they look beautiful displayed on the tables, but everyone loved them and was so excited to have something nice to enjoy. Plus, everyone is obsessed with the Harriett’s Tree scent! The owner of Backhouse, Danielle, is a dream to work with and puts so much thought and care into her business. Everything from the packaging, to the labeling, to the products themselves are perfect. If you need a shower or wedding guest gift idea, you can’t go wrong with a custom mini candle!

    Perfect party gifts

    Celebrated my 60th and the personalized mini candles were the perfect gift for my guests. They arrived so quick and ordering was so easy and
    the communication was great. I will order again. And I ordered when free hand wash was a gift and it is amazing. Will order that as well.

    The Best!!

    I always have the best experience with Backhouse! I ordered some of these for my wedding and they came so fast, look AMAZING, and I am so excited about them! Danielle is so detail-oriented and asked me about lots of different options, from the ribbon color to little bags. I would give these 100/5 stars if I could.

    Perfect Baby Shower Favor

    Danielle was an absolute pleasure to work with. Once I placed my online order she texted me for confirmation of all details and sent drafts for approval. The order arrived perfectly packaged and the attention to detail is amazing! The smell of Jack Pumpkin is delightful for a Fall shower. Highly recommend this amazing company for their candles and party favors!!

    Attention to detail…

    I found Back house on instagram and was love at first sight.
    I decided the mini candles were the perfect party favor for my baby shower, Danielle was very helpful and my design was done the same day that I requested an estimate, next thing I was lucky to be in her neighborhood and pick up my order… thank you for being so detailed and helpful…
    Now I order for my home and they are perfect..

    Wish I could give 20 stars

    Danielle and backhouse fragrances are amazing. We are having a company gathering and ordering gift items, all of our other vendors have issue after issue but with backhouse, it could not have been smoother. Great communication, perfect pricing, very flexible options and amazing products. Thank you for being a bright light where other companies cannot even compare!

    Love, Love, Love!

    Danielle was so amazing to work with in producing the custom logo candles for our son and "new" daughter's wedding. She made everything work so smoothly, the quality and presentation are just beautiful. The guests loved the amazing fragrances, the beautiful presentation not only of the candle itself but each came in a darling muslin bag with ribbon. We are all forever fans of this lovely company. Can't wait to order some other items from Danielle.

    We were skeptical at first as we didn’t know this brand, but Danielle was so helpful and patient and solved all our concerns! Candle quality was great; the ribbon and gift bag made it a perfect and stylish gift for our guests, and they love it! So glad to have found backhouse online!
