TheGold Yard
“Smells like golden hour on the quad.”
HOUR
YARD
The Starting Four
Sweet Bergamot
Bright bergamot and a twist of citrus peel, the first gold light of the afternoon.
Historic Oak
Warm oak leaves and a little campus dust, the shade of the quad in October.
Rich Amber
Deep resinous amber, the color of the light by four o'clock.
Subtle Vanilla
Soft vanilla and warm musk, the smell of an old sweatshirt pulled out for homecoming.
Golden Hour on the Yard
The Gold Yard is that hour before homecoming kickoff when the light turns amber under the oaks and everyone you went to school with is suddenly back on campus.
It's rich amber and sweet bergamot with a little vanilla underneath, the same warmth as walking the quad on a perfect autumn afternoon. Not cologne, not a candle-aisle vanilla — just golden hour, bottled.

First Burn
Let the full top melt to the edge of the tin — usually 2 to 3 hours. Sets the pool and kills tunneling before it starts.
Wick Care
Trim the wood wick to 1/8" before every relight. Longer flame means more soot and a shorter runtime.
Don'ts
Don't burn longer than 4 hours a session. Don't leave unattended. Don't light the last 1/2" of wax.
The Rest of the Lineup
