What Makes It Uncommon

Traditional artisanship and natural ingredients make this intricately detailed candle a must-have for your home.

  • Each hand-carved candle starts as a gourd in Peru, where skilled artisans transform it using generations-old techniques.
  • Each gourd is then shipped to California, where Isabel Canto pours 100% coconut wax into its base, blending hints of peach, grapefruit, and fresh rain for a rainforest-like scent.
  • Every candle supports Casa de Luz, a Lima, Peru-based organization that preserves indigenous craftsmanship.
  • Gourds hand-carved in Peru. Candles hand-poured in California.
