We're over the moon to share some exciting news – Rustic Charm Candles was featured in Texas Monthly's article, "What Does Texas Smell Like?" 🎉
The article explores the world of Texas-inspired candles and features some of the most beloved scents capturing the Lone Star State's essence. We were honored to be included among such a talented group of candle makers.
Stockyards: A Fragrance That Evokes the Spirit of the Fort Worth Stockyards
Our very own Stockyards candle got a special shoutout, earning a spot among the top contenders in the "Sense of Place" category. This category is specifically for scents that are inspired by specific places in Texas. Stockyards has a blend of our beloved leather with smoky notes of fresh tobacco. We’re proud that our scent was mentioned amongst the top sense of place candles!
Saddle Shop and Boots & Chaps
Also mentioned in the article are our classic Boots & Chaps—our classic leather scent—and Saddle Shop—a fan favorite of leather, starched jeans, and a little bit of cologne! When the writer tasked a friend with distinguishing the difference, they said “ the former smelled like Cavender’s, while the latter instantly transported me to my family’s tack shed.”
The Power of Scent and Memory
The article beautifully captures how scent can evoke powerful memories and connect us to places and experiences we hold dear. As the article mentions, "Memory is a powerful thing... Sometimes a scent is tucked away in your mind until you smell it again, and then it takes you right back to that place."
At Rustic Charm, we believe in the power of scent to transport you, evoke emotions, and create a sense of home. We're so grateful that our candles, wax melts, and sprays can play a small part in capturing the spirit of Texas and bringing a touch of warmth and nostalgia to your lives.
We encourage you to check out the full Texas Monthly article and discover the many talented candle makers across our great state. You might even find a new favorite scent to add to your collection!
