Desert After Dark
Saffron • Desert Cedar • Amber
Sultry. Magnetic. Alluring.
Smoke and flame rise from crackling desert cedarwood logs, swirling together in a slow, smoldering dance, as two lovers linger beneath a starlit desert sky. A warm breeze infused with rare saffron stirs the air, brushing their skin tenderly. Sensual amber lingers, dark and mysterious, like the shifting shadows of the saguaro cactus cast on this midsummer night by the dancing flame.
Desert After Dark is a spellbinding scent inspired by the heat, romance, and mystery of midsummer nights in the Sonoran Desert - where the air turns electric, shadows deepen, and every moment feels charged with unspoken energy.

Let customers speak for us
Beautiful candle. The scent lingers and becomes more like the smell as one walks by the creosote bushes. Sparks the memory of the smell of desert rain that I miss after growing up in Tucson. Good for a smile. Thanks for making the candles!
This candle is beautifully fragrant and clean burning. The packaging is so lovely that I will repurpose the container!!
Wow, the scent of this candle blew us away. It absolutely captures the smell of the desert after a good rain. It's only been a few days since it arrived but I still stop to smell the candle several times a day. Amazing!!!!
I sent this Monsoon candle as a gift , so I can't speak directly, but my daughter was thrilled! One of her favorite aspects of the desert is that unique scent of creosote after the Monsoon rain, and according to her, this captured it!
We received two candles before Christmas and decided to keep Tamale Season for ourselves. Because I had surgery before the holidays I couldn’t make tamales this year and due to bad weather we lost power on Christmas Eve day which added insult to injury! We immediately lit the tamale candle in the kitchen and it gave us such a welcoming scent and provided true comfort! Our family members loved it and immediately asked where we got it. Needless to say, we will become repeat customers. Thank you Modern Sonoran!
First snowfall was my absolute favorite!!! Just love it!Such a soft /mild smell! I can’t handle strong smells and this is perfect 👌🤩
So comforting! Smells amazing without being overpowering!
Love the authentic fragrance! Not perfume at all. Nice burn too.
It was the perfect Christmas gift for my husband! We moved from AZ to OR and nothing can replace the scent of a fresh Monsoon. This is a very very close representation and was absolutely perfect for the times when we miss home.
The fragrance
is warm and full of pumpkin spices and that freshly baked aroma lingers in your kitchen!
I also love the way the candle looks as well very pleased!
The smell was absolutely lovely and did not smell synthetic ! And the jars are gorgeous!
