How close each one gets
Teakwood & Tobacco
P.F. Candle CoLeather, teak and orange. The tobacco-and-wood half of this scent with none of the vanilla, so it reads far drier.
Coconut Santal
Capri BlueSandalwood and warm amber under coconut, from the same maker in the same vessel size. Sweet in a different direction.
Brooklyn
Brooklyn Candle StudioLeather and cassis over patchouli. Darker and fruitier, and it keeps the smoky-leather edge the vanilla sits on.
What people ask about this scent
- Are those the maker's note tiers?
- No. The maker publishes these notes as a flat list without a top, middle and base. The grouping shown here is ours, arranged to make the accord readable, and it should not be read as the maker's own structure.
- Why does the price differ between listings of this candle?
- Vessel. The observed figure here is for the Mercury Iridescent jar on the linked page; Capri Blue prices the same fragrance differently across its vessel range, so compare fill weight and stated burn rather than the jar.
