Modern Love: The Candle Inspired by a Bowie Classic

There are songs that don't just play — they arrive. David Bowie's "Modern Love" is one of them. That opening drumbeat, the breathless energy, the feeling that something exciting is about to happen. We built a candle around that feeling.

The Modern Love Scented Candle (11.5oz) is our love letter to Bowie — and to the kind of nights that become stories.

The Scent Profile

Modern Love opens with something warm and a little unexpected — the kind of fragrance that commands attention without demanding it. Think velvet and smoke, a hint of musk, and something floral underneath that keeps it from ever feeling heavy. It's sophisticated, a little androgynous, and completely its own thing. Just like the man who inspired it.

This is not a quiet candle. It has presence.

The Mood It Creates

Modern Love is made for the moments that feel cinematic. Pre-dinner drinks with people you actually want to see. A solo evening with a good record and a better glass of wine. Getting ready for something. The scent has an energy to it — warm and inviting, but with an edge that keeps things interesting.

Where It Works Best

Living rooms, dining rooms, and entryways — anywhere you want to make an impression the moment someone walks in. Modern Love is also a natural conversation starter. People will ask about it.

A Note on the Music Lovers Collection

Modern Love is part of our Music Lovers 3 Pack Gift Set — a curated trio of candles inspired by iconic songs and the feelings they create. If you know someone who lives for music (and good scent), it's the gift.

The Brooklyn Wax Standard

Hand-poured with premium fragrance oils and a clean-burning wax blend. The 11.5oz size burns long and even — enough time to get through the whole album.
