Smells like new beginnings.
Rosh Chodesh celebrates the first day of a new lunar month. This is also a very special day for women, where relaxing and abstaining from work is encouraged.
I wanted to create a candle that honored my Jewish upbringing and especially Jewish women. With that said, 20% of sales from this candle will be donated to SHALVA.
Rosh Chodesh smells like earthy cedarwood and sweet smoked vanilla, comes in a frosted glass vessel with a crackling wooden wick.
