Peppercorn and Pomander - A Toast to Holiday Warmth

As the days grow shorter and the air takes on a crisp hush, there’s something deeply soothing about stepping inside and letting a cozy, inviting fragrance welcome you home. Our Peppercorn and Pomander soy candle is designed to do just that, to wrap you in the comfort of holiday tradition, flickering light, and the promise of warmth.

A Scent Steeped in Tradition

The very idea of “pomander” carries a story. Historically, pomanders were scented objects — originally small, fragrant balls carried or worn in ornate cases, filled with herbs, spices, and aromatic mixtures used to scent clothing and air. Over time, the tradition has evolved into something far more fragrant and decorative, a celebration of spices, fruit, and the cozy comforts of home during the cooler months.

With our candle, we invite that warm, centuries-old tradition into your home: citrus-bright, spice-kissed, and rich with seasonal charm.

The Layers of the Fragrance

• Top Notes – Orange, Grapefruit: Imagine gently peeled citrus, bright and cheerful — the kind of fresh-zesty aroma that opens a door to warmth.
• Middle Notes – Peppercorn, Apple, Mandarin: As the citrus fades, a subtle spiciness emerges — cracked peppercorn mingles with crisp apple and sweet mandarin, weaving a cozy complexity.
• Base Notes – Cedarwood, Spiced Pomander: Finally, the scent settles into a comforting foundation of earthy cedarwood and the deep, nostalgic aroma of spiced pomander, evoking memories of holiday fruit-spice wreaths and softly lit firesides.

Together, these notes form a fragrance that is both bright and grounding: citrus and spice dancing over a woodsy, warm heart.

Why It’s Perfect for the Season (and Beyond)

There’s something undeniably magical about scents that recall holidays: the mingling of orange blossom and spice, the background hum of cedar and warmth. This candle was crafted for those moments, curling up with a book by a window during a snowfall, gathering with loved ones after a winter stroll, or simply lighting a wick to transform an ordinary evening into something special.

And yet, its appeal isn’t limited to the holidays. The balance of citrus, spice, and wood creates a versatile fragrance, cheerful enough for everyday comfort, yet rich enough to feel celebratory whenever you light it.

A Candle That Tells a Story

At Bayard Candle Company, we believe every candle should be more than a scent, it should be an experience, a memory, a moment of calm. Our Peppercorn and Pomander candle is that: a nod to old-world fragrance traditions, an embrace of seasonal magic, and an invitation to slow down and savor warmth. Whether as a gift, a treat for yourself, or part of a cozy evening ritual, this candle offers more than aroma. It offers comfort.

Light it. Breathe in the notes of orange, peppercorn, cedarwood, and let your space be transformed.
