Velvet Candle

Bourbon vetiver, creamy sandalwood, grown-up nights.

Velvet is DMJ's most-loved candle — a warm, sophisticated fragrance hand-poured in small batches in Lafayette, Louisiana. A soft opening of black tea and fig unfurls into bourbon vetiver, cardamom, and creamy sandalwood before settling on a base of tonka bean. The effect is layered, grown-up, and fully dimensional — built for slow evenings, dinner parties, and the kind of quiet reading hours that turn into three hours. Housed in a 12 oz matte vessel with a clean cotton wick, Velvet arrives in the signature DMJ gift box, ready to give or to light the moment it lands on the counter. A year-round signature.

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.
