Lost in the Badlands

Scent Notes: Petitgrain | Eucalyptus | Sandalwood

Where wide-open skies meet jagged buttes and dusk settles over the prairie—Lost in the Badlandsis a moody, grounding fragrance inspired by North Dakota’s rugged western edge. It opens with a breath of cool evening air and dry stone, unfolding into rich layers of sandalwood, weathered cedar, and a subtle hint of dark fruit.

As it deepens, warm amber and smoky musk linger in the air, echoing the final light fading behind the buttes. It’s a scent that feels bold, quiet, and unforgettable—like standing alone in the vastness of the Badlands.

Each candle is hand-poured in small batches into our smooth Black Dream Ceramic Tumbler, featuring a matte black finish and laser-engraved label that gives this vessel a bold, modern edge. It’s a candle inspired by the rugged beauty of North Dakota’s western edge—crafted with care, made to burn slow, and meant to be remembered.
