Made By Hand: Canyon Dune
Here at Northern Lights, we love to make things by hand.
Our deep handmade roots remain prominent in our exploration for new products and techniques.

That's why it is particularly exciting to announce the launch of our Canyon Dune candles. The creation of this line references our company's handmade history, but is brought to life with modern touches.
And we're about to let you in on the secret of how it's made...

Humble Beginnings
The creation of a Canyon Dune candle starts with a large box full of individual grains of sand (some might call this a sandbox). The vessel begins when sand is carved out by the wax artist to form the shape and filled with hot wax. Once cooled, the excess sand is brushed away to reveal the candle and sealed to protect the textured exterior. This handmade process guarantees that no two candles are exactly alike! Each vessel is filled with a white, specially formulated coconut-blend wax and features two 100% cotton braided wicks.
What does Canyon Dune smell like?
During the development of Canyon Dune, we were searching for a fragrance that would embody the many elements
that contribute to the formation of canyons. Their majestic shapes, each formed by a unique
path and process, mimics the creation of each Canyon Dune candle. So what does it smell like?
Top notes of sparkling lemon, hints of melon, eucalyptus & ocean air.
Middle notes of lily of the valley, jasmine & geranium. Bottom notes of sandalwood, musk & oakmoss.
