The Cottage captures the quiet magic of stolen summer days by the lake, where time slows, the air smells green and clean, and everything feels a little more honest. Inspired by Shane & Ilya’s time at the cottage in Heated Rivalry, this candle blends wild nettle, soft moss, and fresh rainwater to evoke damp earth, open windows, and the hush after a storm. It’s cool forest air, bare feet on wooden floors, and the kind of calm that lingers long after the rain has passed. Light it when you want to disappear somewhere simple, secluded, and unforgettable.

Makers Note: All proceeds from The Cottage will be donated to an LGBTQIA+ charity, honoring the love, community, and representation that inspired this candle. By lighting it, you’re not just bringing home the scent of mossy woods and fresh rain—you’re helping support LGBTQIA+ lives, stories, and spaces where everyone deserves to feel safe, seen, and celebrated
