Bright and citrus-led
Green tea and tangerine feel crisp and lively. Orange paired with patchouli starts bright, then settles into something earthier.

You do not need to know fragrance language. Begin with a direction you already enjoy, then notice what the second note changes.
Start with notes you enjoy.
Explore four scent families, with candles from the NAVA collection.
Floral, with contrast
Jasmine can feel airy beside sea salt or richer beside saffron and amberwood. Ylang-ylang and fig takes the floral direction somewhere softer and warmer.
Soft and familiar
Lavender and vanilla make a gentle pairing. Clean soap and warm steam offer a fresher kind of familiarity, without becoming sharply perfumed.
Woody and grounded
Sandalwood gives a warm, dry foundation. Paired with jasmine it becomes more floral; on its own it keeps the composition direct and quiet.
Three ways to
narrow it down.
- 01
Name one note you like.
Lavender, citrus, jasmine, sandalwood or warm spice is enough to begin. Search the collection by that note.
- 02
Look at its companion.
Sea salt makes jasmine airier. Amberwood makes it deeper. Patchouli grounds orange. The pairing tells you more than a broad scent family.
- 03
Choose the object too.
Consider the vessel, size and story alongside the scent, especially for a gift. Current sizes and availability are shown on each product page.
Choosing for someone else?
Use what you know: a scent they already wear, a room they care about, or a story that sounds like them. If you are unsure, choose a familiar note and let the second note add character.
