As the first whispers of autumn brushed the air with a crisp chill and as leaves danced in shades of gold and amber, Gabriela felt an irresistible pull toward the deep, rich hues of the amethyst stone. It was as if the season itself had cast a spell on her, awakening a longing that she couldn't quite put into words—a feeling that tugged at the corners of her heart and painted her thoughts in violet tones.

As a young child, Gabriela would spend hours playing with her aunt’s jewelry. Her aunt’s vanity table, with its treasures of gold and gemstones, was a wonderland of elegance and possibility. Gabriela would sit before the mirror, carefully draping necklaces over her neck and slipping on rings that were far too large for her tiny fingers, emulating the effortless grace her aunt seemed to embody. Of all the jewelry her aunt owned, Gabriela’s favorite was a stunning gold cocktail ring with a large amethyst stone, its rich purple hues glowing in the light like a tiny universe contained in stone. She would often sneak it away to admire its beauty, imagining herself at grand parties, the amethyst sparkling as brightly as her dreams.

Now, years later, that same ring sat nestled safely in her collection, a piece she treasures deeply since her aunt’s passing. It wasn’t just a piece of jewelry anymore—it was a connection to a woman who had inspired her creativity, her sense of elegance, and her love for small, meaningful details.

Autumn in Fillmore, California, wasn't just a change in the weather—it was an invitation to the senses, a symphony of sights, sounds, and smells that played on a loop. The air was thick with the scent of ripe citrus, freshly plucked from nearby groves, their brightness mingling with the earthy aroma of fallen leaves. Harvest moons hung low in the sky, their glow casting a silvery light over the fields, while the comforting warmth of a cozy blanket wrapped around loved ones turned every evening into a scene from a cherished memory.

One such evening, with the stars peeking through the twilight and a gentle breeze rustling the curtains, Gabriela stood in her workshop, surrounded by the quiet hum of possibility. Her fingers traced the outline of the amethyst ring, its surface smooth and cool against her skin, like a polished stone at the bottom of a river. She could almost hear her aunt’s voice—soft and soothing, like a lullaby carried on the wind, filled with love and timeless wisdom. “Create,” the voice seemed to whisper, urging Gabriela to bring something new into the world. “Create something that speaks of peace and strength, of the grounding comfort that comes from knowing you are loved.”

The idea bloomed in her mind like a flower opening its petals to the morning sun. She would create the French Lavender & Amethyst candle. Lavender, with its calming, soul-soothing properties, would be the heart of this autumn blend, a fragrant nod to fields of purple that stretched beneath the sun-drenched skies of Provence. But it needed more—it needed the essence of the amethyst stone, a touch of its quiet power and its depth, as if to capture the very soul of autumn nights, the ones that carried a hint of mystery and the promise of dreams yet to come.

The fragrance would weave together the delicate, floral notes of lavender with the grounding presence of amethyst, evoking the calm that settles over the land as twilight falls and the world seems to exhale a sigh of contentment. This candle would be a balm for the weary, a way to bring the tranquility of an October evening indoors, turning any space into a sanctuary. It would be the kind of scent that invited you to linger, to wrap yourself in its embrace, and to let the world slow down to the rhythm of a flickering flame.
