Marak Home & Fragrance Dwell

Dwell is a gourmand fragrance, meaning it has a rich, edible quality. It balances the warmth of amber wood and vanilla orchid with the deeper, earthier notes of oud and brushed suede. The addition of palo santo and frankincense gives it a grounding, incense-like finish rather than being overly sweet.

The candle is formulated without parabens, sulfates, or phthalates, which are common irritants found in many home fragrances. While it is cruelty-free and vegan, those with severe sensitivities to essential oils should note that it contains palo santo, frankincense, and myrrh.

The 10.8 oz classic size offers a burn time between 55 and 75 hours. To maximize this, ensure you trim the cotton wick to about 1/4 inch before each use and allow the wax to melt to the edges during the first burn.

Dwell is hand-crafted using a clean-burning, soy-based wax blend. This choice is intentional for a slower, more even burn compared to traditional paraffin waxes.

It strikes a balance between the two. The vanilla orchid provides a subtle sweetness, but the spicy depth of the oud, amber wood, and citrus notes keeps it from feeling like a typical dessert-scented candle.
