California Dreamin – Natural Soy Wax Candle

Inspired by the film CHUNGKING EXPRESS

Scent Profile:

• Canned Pineapple
• Flooded Apartment
• Whiskey
• Cash
• Tobacco

Lose yourself in the electric melancholy of Chungking Express, Wong Kar-wai’s iconic tale of love, longing, and late-night loneliness. California Dreamin captures that cinematic blur between memory and desire - the kind that flickers like neon through a rainy window - distilling the soul of the film into scent and flame.

A Fragrance Steeped in Memory and Yearning

This isn’t just a candle, it’s a vignette. The bright tang of canned pineapple opens like a note from someone who vanished without saying goodbye. A wet, atmospheric accord evokes the smell of a flooded apartment: humid, aching, and tender. Whiskey and worn cash add depth and grit, while the rich, deep scent of tobacco lingers like something left unsaid. It’s lonely, it’s beautiful, and it’s waiting for you to press play.

The Story Between the Tracks

California Dreamin is a tribute to the dreamlike rhythm of Chungking Express - a film where time slips, memories loop, and people drift in and out of each other’s lives like songs on a jukebox. Light this candle and you’re standing in a cramped takeaway stall, soaking in the scent of missed connections and quiet revelations, wrapped in the saturated glow of a world that feels almost real.

Handcrafted for Cinephiles and Dreamers

Made in the heart of Hollywood with all-natural soy wax, each candle is poured by hand to ensure a clean, slow burn.

A Sensory Homage Worthy of Wong Kar-wai

Whether you’re a longtime fan of the director’s poetic style or someone who simply appreciates a unique olfactory experience, California Dreamin makes for an evocative and thoughtful gift. It’s perfect for those who understand that a scent—like a film—can linger long after the credits roll.

Relive the Romance, One Breath at a Time

Let the flame flicker like a passing train in the night, and allow the scent to pull you into a world of brief encounters and quiet heartbreak. This candle is more than an accessory - it’s a portal to the wistful, beautiful ache of Chungking Express.
