Size: Mono No Aware

Handmade candles with sentimental scents to create layers of memories. They're perfect for lighting after dinner with friends or relaxing during solo downtime. 

Mar Mar started in founder Marissa Boswell's Los Angelos loft with the intention to create a product that anyone would be proud to present as a gift. Mar Mar works with Light 4 Life, an organization that partners with Exceptional Childrens' Foundation to provide jobs for adults with disabilities.

Mono No Aware:  Sweet, nostalgic, powdery — tobacco, vervaine.  Mono no aware is a Japanese phrase translating most simply as a sensitivity to ephemera, bittersweetness, or the happiness that something has happened mixed with the sadness that it’s no longer happening.

Other Desert Cities:  Resinous, aromatic, escapist — agarwood, mesquite, santal.  Sparked by a highway sign and inspired by the brutal and beautiful landscapes of Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree, Twentynine Palms and beyond.

Saint-Martin:  Smoky, intense, spicy — hashish, nag champa, mesquite, vervaine.  Embodies the spirit of smoky, late night walks down the tree-lined canal Saint-Martin in Paris.
