Tidelock

Fragrance Family: Fresh | Aquatic | Serene

A fragrance inspired by river rhythms and salt-kissed air, Tidelock captures the gentle pull of the Potomac and the tranquil charm of Alexandria’s shoreline. Crisp and clean, it opens with ocean mist and bright ginger, then settles into soft woods and steeped tea—like sunlight drifting across calm waters.

Fragrance Notes:
Top: Ocean Mist, Ginger – A refreshing, citrus-laced breeze that energizes and uplifts.
Middle: White Tea, Driftwood – A smooth, airy heart that evokes stillness and clarity.
Base: Sea Salt, Soft Woods, Subtle Musk – A grounding finish of mineral-rich warmth and quiet sophistication

The Ritual:
Light Tidelock in the early morning hours or as dusk settles over the city. Let its scent wash over you like a rising tide, carrying the calm of the river and the warmth of a sunlit breeze. Whether paired with journaling, quiet reflection, or an open window overlooking the water, this candle is a waypoint—a still moment in the ever-moving current.

Part of the Waypoint Collection, inspired by the landmarks, histories, and hidden currents of Alexandria, VA.

Packaging:

Each Hemlock & Hearth candle is hand-poured into a Amber tumbler jar a clean, minimalist vessel that glows warmly as it burns. The jars are sleek yet weighty, offering a luxurious experience with every light.

To complete the experience, each candle is housed in a matte black paper candle tube, sealed with a signature wax stamp and finished with a collection-specific label. Whether gifted or displayed at home, the packaging reflects our dedication to timeless design and intimate ritual. ( Option coming in Sept 2025 to ship without tube)

Disclaimer:
Each Hemlock & Hearth candle is hand-poured in our home studio. Because they’re handmade, there may be slight variations—like a gently off-center wick, textured tops, or the occasional crease in a label. These small imperfections are part of the process and don’t affect the quality or burn.

Scent is deeply personal, and we know buying without smelling can be a leap. Thank you for taking that chance. If you have questions about any fragrance before ordering, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to help.
