Description
Summer of 1987 is pure nostalgia in a jar — that specific feeling of warm-evening air, citrus on your hands, and nowhere to be. Light it and the room feels like the best parts of being a teenager again.
The Scent
Rhubarb and fig open it sweet and unexpected. Violet, citrus, and amber bring brightness through the middle. Cedarwood and cashmere settle the base — soft, warm, lingering well after the flame is out.

Candle care
- On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edge (about 1 hour per inch of width) so it doesn’t tunnel.
- Trim the wick to ¼ inch before every burn for a clean, even flame.
- Burn for no more than 4 hours at a time, away from drafts.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended, and stop when ½ inch of wax remains.
