If July Was a Scent: Haleakalā

If July Was a Scent: Haleakalā

July doesn’t just shine, it glows. It’s the high point of summer, full of brightness, heat, and bold-hearted joy. If this month had a scent, it would be Haleakalā, our Summer Solstice candle inspired by sunrise over Maui’s sacred volcanic summit.

A blend of juicy fruits and creamy warmth, Haleakalā is golden hour in scent form. It wraps around you like sun on your skin, radiant, inviting, and unforgettable.

💭 What July Smells Like (via Haleakalā)
