Honoring Life and Memory with the Día de los Muertos Collection
At Haus of Flame Candle Co., we’re incredibly proud to introduce our limited-edition Día de los Muertos Collection. This special release celebrates Día de los Muertos, the cherished Mexican tradition of honoring the lives of those who have passed on. Each candle in this collection was carefully crafted to capture the essence of this vibrant celebration and the rich, cultural heritage that surrounds it.
Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd. Far from a solemn occasion, it is a time of joyous remembrance, when families honor the memory of their loved ones with altars (known as ofrendas) filled with meaningful mementos, food, and items to welcome spirits back to the world of the living. Marigolds, candles, and incense often fill the air, symbolizing love and the continuity of life. The Día de los Muertos Collection was created with respect for these traditions, and each fragrance was inspired by elements that hold significant meaning during this time.
Eternal Essence
This scent is inspired by the deep, earthy aroma of copal incense, traditionally used in Mexico to create a sacred, spiritual atmosphere. Copal has been burned in rituals for centuries to guide spirits home, symbolizing the connection between our world and the spiritual realm. With its grounding, resinous notes, Eternal Essence transports you to a place of love and remembrance, filling your space with the calming aura of this sacred incense.
Golden Altar
Golden Altar captures the essence of cempasúchil, also known as marigold. This vibrant flower, often called the flower of the dead, plays a central role in Día de los Muertos celebrations. Its bright color and powerful fragrance are believed to guide spirits back to their families, lighting the path to their loved ones. Golden Altar’s fresh, floral scent is a tribute to the beauty of life and the warmth of memory, making it a perfect addition to your home for moments of reflection.
Pure Intentions
Pure Intentions embodies the calming blend of sage, lavender, and delicate florals, honoring the traditional use of herbs in rituals of peace and protection. This fragrance symbolizes the act of cleansing and the creation of a tranquil space, ideal for reflection and memory. With this serene blend, Pure Intentions brings a mindful sense of clarity, perfect for creating an environment of peace and introspection.
Each fragrance in the Día de los Muertos Collection represents a part of this significant tradition, crafted to honor the cultural beauty and depth of Día de los Muertos. Housed in our unique 8oz paint can vessels, these candles are a beautiful reminder of the lives, memories, and legacies we hold dear.
This collection is available for a limited time, and we invite you to bring a piece of this timeless celebration into your space. Light one of these candles and experience the warmth, connection, and meaning that fills this special season.
