Flamingo Estate Organic Candles

Jurassic Vanilla: Inspired by a wild new varietal of Vanilla found at Mestiza de Indias, our friend Gonzalo's jungle sanctuary for rare and endangered species, this Candle is Vanilla stripped of its costume. No sugar, no cream, just a vegetal whisper of an entire ecosystem, expressed through a scent that refuses to be reduced to “sweet.” Anchored by Green Vanilla, fresh Cypress, sacred Guaiac, smoked Saffron, and a touch of Vetiver.

Golden Pollinator: The defining seasonal scent of Milan—mixing honeyed linden blossoms, a green bergamot sparkle, creamy heliotrope and a dust of pollen. The result is a golden Italian scent bomb, catapulting us to Milan in peak bloom, when the zest of sunlit markets mixes with the air of buzzing boulevards. Sweet, citric, quietly creamy.

Sappho Fig: Green, milky, and deeply sensuous, grounded by Cardamom and Sandalwood. Conjuring the intoxicating window of time in the Greek isles when the air is still green, the Fig is just ripe, and a creamy whisper of woods and spice hint at something deeper. A romantic offering to beauty and desire, materialized.

Leather Appointment: This candle captures the scent of buttery soft leather and delicate suede, wrapped in a bright box of bitter orange.

Climbing Tuscan Rosemary: The “mist of the sea,” Rosemary is the objet d’amour of Romans, Greeks, and honeybees everywhere, its scent oft detected wafting amongst the cypress trees and ruins of golden hour strolls. For centuries, this ubiquitous herb has been used as a mental stimulant, said to enhance memory, intelligence, and creative dreaming. Light up.

Green Goddess: Green Goddess is a fecund celebration of all that bursts with green. It mingles freshly-picked Basil, sharp Mint, bright pea Tendrils, and warm Golden Ginger — conjuring those fleeting moments at golden hour when everything is lush and the garden feels alive.

Roma Heirloom Tomato: Conjures memories of late summer dinner parties in Sicily. We worship the tomato. Ripe, supple and bursting with juice, the scent of the heirloom tomato catapults us to memories of late summer dinner parties in Sicilian gardens and awakens pleasure in all our uncommon senses.

Olive Tree: Nothing is new under the sun. Time is not a line, but an endless circle. As we orbit around, yet again, a new solar return, we are reminded about the cyclical, spiraling nature of things. The seasons remind us we’re in a constant state of coming around to ourselves. Getting back to basics. And reviving all the parts of the world that have stood the test of time. In that spirit, we’re plumbing the depths of ancient wisdom with our Olive Tree candle — an homage to old things, made suddenly new, and the power inherent in coming around again.

Adriatic Muscatel Sage: Sacred, spiritual, and wholly transportive. The ritualistic burning of sage can clear negative energies and bring in the good stuff. The sage in this candle carries with it salt breezes from the Adriatic — a scent that alleviates stress and promotes a sense of well-being.

Douglas Fir Vetiver: Lighting this is like conjuring the forest wind. As the wax warms, the essential oils begin to travel, and forest air fills the room with the crisp, smokey, sweet scents of Vetiver, Douglas Fir, Angelica Root, and a hint of Basil. The essential oil of Douglas Fir is distilled from boughs gathered in British Columbia’s highly-oxygenated Great Bear Rainforest. Our Vetiver is regeneratively grown and contains a high mycorrhizae content to help microorganisms flourish in nutrient-rich soil.

Prinsesstårta: The most delicious candle we've ever made. Prinsesstårta is a complex Candle. It has sweet, powdery Almond and sultry spices. As it burns, it releases a creamy whiff of Heliotrope Flowers — reminiscent of Marzipan. Earthy Oakmoss at the heart. And musky Amber at the base. Together, this limited-edition Prinsesstårta Candle is a tribute to the mothers in our family: complex, strong, comforting, and sweet.
