Balsam and Cedar is a brisk walk through a winter forest. Cool pine and a bright lift of eucalyptus open it up, then ease into a woody heart of cedarwood and rich balsam fir. Earthy and evergreen with a crisp edge, it captures the scent of fresh-cut boughs, perfect for the holidays or a quiet cabin-in-the-woods evening. A top seller in our Christmas wax melt collection.

The blend features pine, eucalyptus, cedarwood, and balsam.

What does Balsam and Cedar smell like?

Cool pine comes first, sharpened by the bright, clearing lift of eucalyptus. Then cedarwood brings a dry, woody warmth, and sweet balsam fir rounds out the finish. It is fresh and woody at the same time: crisper than a plain fir scent, with more of the outdoors in it. Think of a brisk walk through a winter forest and the smell of the woodpile when you get back.

Where it fits

It is one of our Christmas best sellers, but the pine and cedar carry it well past the holidays. It works just as well in January and February: a cabin-style living room, a mudroom full of boots and coats, or a cold evening under a blanket. If you want a winter scent that is not sweet, start here.

  • Pine and Patchouli: pine, cedarwood and balsam with lime, pear, patchouli and sage, so it is earthier and more herbal.
