Survivor Story Series Candle

Each Survivor Candle begins with a woman who has completed Thistle & Bee’s residential program. She creates her own signature fragrance blend, choosing scents that reflect her story, her journey, and the woman she has become.

Her candle then becomes part of the path for the women coming behind her, honoring how far she has come while lighting the way for the next woman beginning her own journey.

Her scent. Her story. Her light, passed on.

Ashley - MAGNOLIA & AMBER

Magnolia and amber tell the story of Ashley’s journey of resilience, healing, and hope. Magnolia, a flower that blooms with strength and grace, represents renewal, growth, and the courage to begin again. Amber brings warmth, depth, and strength to the fragrance, reflecting the stability and confidence Ashley has built through the skills she gained, the work she accomplished, and the future she created for herself.

Sam - ROSE & OUD

Sam chose rose and oud because they represent two sides of her journey. Rose reminds her of softness, beauty, and femininity, while oud represents strength, grounding, and resilience. Just like a rose, she's learned that having thorns doesn’t make you any less beautiful. It’s part of what makes you strong.
