Paloma: Butterscotch & Vanilla Bean Flan

Scent: Butterscotch & Vanilla Bean Flan

Scent Intensity: Medium to Deep

The story behind the scent: When you light a Paloma candle, your surroundings will be filled with a rich, sweet scent of dusky vanilla and tasty butterscotch. Try not to eat the candle itself, if you can help it! Paloma was my gentle, lovely little canine Queen, matriarch of a pack rescue Chihuahuas that shaped my life for many years. She was a deeply sensitive dog with a tender soul and a huge smile. Rescued from Los Angeles and brought north to San Francisco, she was with me for over fifteen years, until she passed on 22 March 2018 at about 17 years old. One of her nicknames was Butters, and she was indeed incredibly soft, silky, and creamy-colored, so my goddaughter and I decided a candle in her honor would smell of butterscotch and vanilla (and she loved vanilla ice cream!). Chihuahuas are an adored Mexican breed, so we decided flan was perfect to honor her roots! $2.20 of every Paloma candle – in any size –  will be donated to Rocket Dog Rescue (www.rocketdogrescue.org) in the San Francisco Bay Area to help save lives and build families!
