The ports along the rivers and coastlines of the Deep South not only exported the crops of our new nation's fertile soil, it also welcomed the fruits of trades in exotic lands. Somewhere along the line, the fragrances of fresh cut tobacco leaves and bay leaf came together. Funny how two fragrances from such disparate points on the globe can mix to generate a feeling of comfort. These refreshing citrus top notes followed by exotic florals dry to a delicate background of sandalwood, cedar and warm musk.

Inspired by the utilitarian luxury made evident in New Americana, the sophisticated fragrances of Lodestone Reserve candles evoke memories of estate adventures, real or imagined, near or far.
