The Story Behind This Candle

The Declaration of Independence stands as one of the most influential documents in human history. Adopted on July 4, 1776, it announced that the American colonies would no longer live under British rule and asserted that all people are endowed with unalienable rights. More than a declaration of separation, it was a philosophical statement that reshaped how nations understood liberty and governance.

Drafted primarily by Thomas Jefferson and refined through debate, the document challenged the authority of monarchy and placed the legitimacy of government in the consent of the governed. Its words carried risk as well as resolve, binding its signers together in a shared commitment to freedom, despite the consequences that might follow.

The Parchment Paper scent reflects the physical and symbolic weight of the document itself—ink on aged paper, carefully written and preserved. Subtle, warm, and contemplative, this fragrance is designed to evoke the quiet gravity of ideas that forever altered the course of history.
