First Blood Candle – Night-Blooming Jasmine, Sandalwood & Forest Soy Candle

First Blood is a dark floral candle blending intoxicating night-blooming jasmine, warm sandalwood, and deep forest notes. Mysterious, woody, and atmospheric, this hand-poured soy candle balances lush nighttime florals with smooth woods and the green depth of a shadowy forest. Available in 4oz, 9oz, and 12oz sizes.

A Dark Jasmine & Sandalwood Candle

Some things only come alive after dark.

First Blood opens with lush night-blooming jasmine, giving the fragrance an intoxicating floral character that feels richer and moodier than a traditional fresh flower scent.

As the fragrance develops, sandalwood emerges beneath the jasmine, bringing a smooth, warm woodiness that softens the florals without taking away their darker edge.

Deep forest notes ground the fragrance with green, earthy depth, creating the feeling of flowers blooming somewhere far beyond the edge of the path.

The result is a jasmine and sandalwood candle that's floral, woody, atmospheric, and just unsettling enough to keep things interesting.

Think jasmine opening beneath moonlight. Warm woods. Damp leaves underfoot. Trees disappearing into darkness.

Something moved.

Probably a deer.

Sure.

Let's go with deer.

Night-Blooming Jasmine • Sandalwood • Forest

What Does the First Blood Candle Smell Like?

First Blood smells like a dark floral candle with night-blooming jasmine, creamy sandalwood, and deep forest notes.

Jasmine gives the fragrance its lush floral opening while sandalwood adds smooth warmth and a woody character. Forest notes bring green, earthy depth underneath, transforming the florals into something darker and more atmospheric.

It's floral without being delicate, woody without becoming traditionally masculine, and earthy without smelling overly mossy or damp.

If you like floral candles but want your flowers growing somewhere considerably darker, First Blood is for you.
