Louisiana landscape in a jar — a love letter to Lafayette.
Roots is DMJ's collaboration candle with Moncus Park, Lafayette's beloved 100-acre green space, and it's a fragrance grounded in place, memory, and community. Fresh-cut grass and wildflower open with daylight-clear brightness, while the heart blooms into Louisiana magnolia, iris, and calming lavender — the garden in early bloom. Underneath, earthy soil, live oak, and cedarwood create a warm, enduring foundation that feels restorative and unmistakably rooted in the South. Natural yet refined, Roots brings the outdoors in with quiet sophistication — built for living rooms with the windows open, porches that run late, and sunrooms where the light moves. Peak seasons are spring, summer, and early fall — for anyone who wants their home to smell like Louisiana at its greenest. 15% of profits from every Roots candle support Moncus Park.

Burn & Care
Trim the wick to ¼" before each burn. Allow the melt pool to reach the edge of the vessel on the first burn so your candle burns evenly over its full life. Never burn longer than four hours at a time, and always on a heat-safe surface away from drafts, children, and pets.
