Independence Hall

Independence Hall stands as one of the most consequential rooms in American history. Within its walls, delegates of the Second Continental Congress gathered during the summer of 1776 to debate the future of thirteen colonies—and ultimately to declare independence from British rule. It was here that the Declaration of Independence was adopted, setting in motion the creation of a new nation founded on liberty, representation, and self-governance.

The same room would again shape history just over a decade later, when the Constitutional Convention convened in 1787. Delegates argued, negotiated, and compromised in pursuit of a framework strong enough to unite the states while preserving individual freedoms. The resulting Constitution became the foundation of the American republic, enduring through centuries of change.

The Parchment scent reflects the atmosphere of those pivotal moments—aged paper, ink-stained documents, and the quiet gravity of ideas being committed to history. Warm, refined, and contemplative, this candle is designed to evoke the seriousness and significance of the decisions made within Independence Hall.
