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
from 299 reviewsI moved away from Arizona 20 years ago and the one thing I've always said I miss the most is the smell of rain in the desert. This candle has perfectly captured that exact scent! It takes me right back to Arizona and my many memories of sitting outside after the rain to revel in the way the air smelled. Thank you so much for bringing this little bit of home back to me.
I grew up in the desert and missed the smell of it after rain. Thank you for discovering a way to put it into a candle.
Website is easy to navigate. Helpful rep and owner. Poured sample sets for an event so we could sample the scents even tho they were out of stock at the time of the event.
I like this scent. While it may not smell super strong, its great to burn in my bedroom and you can smell it when you come up the steps.
Candle smells great. Order arrived quickly.
Lived in the desert, the candle smells just like after it rains!! Love it!
Smells amazing! My husband is an Arizona native that now lives in TN. This smell brings him back to childhood memories of playing in the desert and the clean smell of the monsoons.
The packaging was secure and the candles were very well protected.
The website was very easy to use.
I bought two of these for my husband's birthday and we both absolutely love them! We left Arizona 26 years ago and one of the things we have missed most, is the smell of the desert after the rain. There's just nothing to compare to it. These candles came mighty close to that wonderful aroma, and it took us back to some precious memories. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.
This candle smells so good even my 5 year old commented on how good the house smelled when he walked in. I wish it was a bit bigger for the price though.
