Black Cake — Candle
Smells Like Rum and Raisin
Black Cake opens with a tantalizing mix of top notes featuring creamy coconut, caramelized sugar, and a sprinkle of warm cinnamon, creating an inviting introduction that enchants the senses. As the scent unfolds, the heart reveals the indulgent essence of rum and plump raisins, reminiscent of the beloved Caribbean dessert that is often the centerpiece of celebrations. The experience is beautifully anchored by the base notes of rich maple, aromatic nutmeg, warm clove, and allspice, evoking the comforting atmosphere of gatherings and family feasts.
The Tradition Behind the Scent
Black Cake (also called Rum Cake by other Caribbean islands) is the Caribbean’s signature celebration dessert during the holidays. It is rooted in plum pudding, reimagined with rum‑soaked fruits, browning, and island spices.
This candle is infused with natural essential oils including cinnamon leaf, vanilla absolute, styrax resin, clove bud, clove leaf, and eucalyptus.
