Oraya—a scent inspired by Carissa Broadbent’s NYT bestselling Crowns of Nyaxia series
Officially Licensed Product
I think I felt every emotion possible when reading this duology. I was rooting for Oraya at every single turn, and completely devistated at the end ofThe Serpent and the Wings of Night. Carissa is truly an amazing story teller. I loved the character growth we got to see in Oraya throughout this first installment of the series. She had to grapple with so much, and while her character wasn't perfect, she handled it pretty well.
When working from her scent description I really enjoyed building this one out. There's the obvious hits of florals and ozone for spring. I really got to play with the steel and Nightfire scents. The saffron, sandalwood, and smoke really ground this light and airy floral scent and make it also earthy and full. Floral scents can be tricky because folks have strong opinions about them. This isn't your standard floral scent, it's a gust of fresh spring air.

Candle care
Initial Burn
The first time you burn your candle sets the tone for how it will burn for the rest of its life. Burn the candle until the wax pool (the melted part around the wick) reaches the edge of the jar or tin. This will prevent tunneling and wasted wax. It will take approximately 1-1.5 hours.
General Care + Safety
Always keep the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch. Occasionally, wicks will mushroom, this is a black cap at the end of the wick that resembles a mushroom. If present, make sure to remove prior to burning. Keep the candle free of debris, even the wick trimmings.
Don’t burn your candle near flammable stuff (curtains, we're looking at you) or leave unattended. Definitely don’t burn any candles when you’re sleeping.
Don’t burn the candle all the way to the end. Leave about 1/4 inch of wax at the bottom of the vessel. This will keep the vessel from getting too hot and potentially damaging the surface it is sitting on.
