Greek Revival Candle
Bringing a hint of old-world Mediterranean elegance and a sense of grandeur, our Greek Revival candle capture the classic and inviting scent of a sun-drenched Greek architecture with notes of green floral, green leaves, ozone, fig, jasmine, wood, moss, and light musk.
Greek Revival style architecture in the United States was a popular trend from the late 18th to mid 19th century. This style was influenced by the ideas of ancient Greek architecture, which sought to emphasize symmetry, proportion, and simplicity. It was characterized by the use of columns, pediments, and balanced facades, which created a sense of grandeur and timelessness.
