daydream: our Imagination inspired candle (the $300 scent for $40)

if you've ever smelled Imagination by Louis Vuitton and immediately checked the price tag ($300+ for a bottle), this one's for you. daydream is our hand-poured love letter to that exact scent profile — in a 16oz paint can tin, for $40.

what Imagination actually smells like

Sunshine, engineered. Imagination layers sparkling citrus over cold black tea and airy ambrette — radiant and effortless, like the first genuinely warm day of the year decided to become a fragrance.

how daydream captures it

daydream keeps that radiant citrus-tea sparkle, balanced so it lifts a whole room without ever going sharp. It's optimism with a wooden wick.

the notes: bright citrus, black tea, ambrette, ginger — in a clean-burning natural soy blend with a crackling wooden wick, hand-poured in small batches in White Lake, Michigan.

when to burn it

Work-from-home mornings, spring cleaning, and any day the forecast disappoints you.

the math that makes this fun

a $300 bottle of Imagination gets worn by one person at a time. a $40 daydream scents the entire room for roughly 80 hours — about 50 cents an hour for everyone present. we're not saying it replaces the bottle. we're saying your living room deserves nice things too.

start with the 2oz mini ($8) if you want to sniff-test before committing, or meet the whole family on the designer collection page — twelve luxury-inspired scents, zero velvet rope.
