Black pepper, cedarwood, and an antique library.
Sweet Pepper is DMJ's quiet-haven candle — a warm, spiced fragrance for anyone who would rather spend the evening with a good book than a crowded room. Black pepper and orange flower open with a bright, peppery spark, then settle into rich cedarwood that smells like polished shelves and turning pages. Creamy tonka bean and a whisper of vanilla soften the spice, while vetiver and patchouli ground everything in earthy, lived-in warmth. The effect is cozy but never sugary — timeless, a little mysterious, and made for slow nights at home. Peak season is fall and winter, but Sweet Pepper earns its place on the shelf year-round.

Burn & Care
