Learn more about my inspiration:

Love potions are created to attract love, promote desire, and to strengthen relationships. This fragrance is inspired by the traditional ingredients frequently used in love spells as passed down through herbal folktales. The star component of this fragrance is tonka bean, a flat, wrinkled legume from South America originally used to sweeten pipe tobacco. The smell of tonka bean is unique and difficult to pinpoint but commonly described to have a rich, nutty, and spicy aroma with scent notes of earthy hay, almond, clove, and cinnamon. Tonka truly has a mystical aroma. Known as the love wishing bean, tonka has a long history, particularly in Hoodoo traditions, for use in love spells.

Coriander seeds also have a long tradition as a love potion ingredient. Historical records ranging from the ancient Greeks and Chinese to medieval and Renaissance Europe reveal this ingredient to be used in love potions and in wine as a potent aphrodisiac. Crushed coriander seeds have a slightly sweet and herbal orange-lemony scent. On top of the full-bodied tonka bean, there is just enough of the citrusy coriander note to add a little playfulness to this romantic fragrance. Topping off this fragrance is a drizzle of honey to sweeten our love spell!

* This candle uses a blend of oils that smells like honey, not actual honey. Old Soul Artisan candles are vegan.
