Scent Guide

Every Southern Elegance scent comes as a hand-poured candle or a jumbo wax melt, made to order in Raeford, North Carolina. Use this guide to find the family and mood that fit your home. If a scent comes in more than one form, the guide says so; most are available as a mason jar candle, a 6 oz travel tin, and a jumbo wax melt.
