Our review
A sophisticated, layered fragrance designed for meaningful gifting. MARGARET is a refined currant-forward hurricane candle with depth, brightness, and quiet warmth. It opens with pink currant, grapefruit, and quince — fresh and modern — before unfolding into a soft floral heart of rose petals, white jasmine, and lily of the valley. A warm base of cedarwood, sandalwood, and musk grounds the scent, creating a balanced fragrance that feels confident, polished, and effortlessly composed. Bright without being sharp. Musky without feeling heavy. Expressive without ever overwhelming the room. Poured into backhouse’s signature hurricane glass, MARGARET fills a space with presence and intention. It’s a natural choice for housewarmings, thoughtful thank-you gifts, and elevated everyday living. Gift-ready and thoughtfully finished, MARGARET is a luxury musk candle designed to linger — distinctive, memorable, and easy to give. Why it makes a great gift A sophisticated currant and musk fragrance with broad appeal Bright citrus layered over warm woods Expressive yet balanced Elevated and easy to give Ideal for Elevated gifting Housewarmings and host gifts Living rooms, bedrooms, and shared spaces Anyone drawn to deeper, layered fragrances Details 12.5 oz Approximately 70+ hour burn time Proprietary coconut/vegetable wax blend Notes of pink currant, grapefruit, quince, rose petals, white jasmine, lily of the valley, cedarwood, sandalwood, and musk MARGARET represents new beginnings. For my husband and me, it’s tied to a story that came full circle — young love, time apart, and finding our way back to each other years later. I still remember the rich scent of currant he burned in his Corona del Mar bachelor pad. Warm. Familiar. Comforting in a way that lingered long after the candle burned out. Life moved quickly after that. We married. Blended our family. Built a home on Margaret Drive, where new memories continue to unfold. That sense of nostalgia layered with possibility is what inspired MARGARET — a fragrance that feels meaningful, expressive, and deeply personal. Designed to honor where you’ve been while making space for what comes next.
