A Rebirth

From the Ashes

The Red Collection debuted last year as a set of limited-edition candles, and now returns as a permanent collection, featuring exciting new upgrades. What has changed?

  • Larger vessels, more wax, longer burn time—originally 7oz, now 8.8oz
  • New box design made with premium vermillion card stock and embossed details
  • Luxurious vellum textured labels with red metallic foiling
  • Two entirely new fragrances, for Passion and Forbidden Fruit
The Inspiration

A Dangerous, delicious Color

No other color matches the primacy of red. It stands as the first of all colors, and in some languages, is even synonymous with color itself.

Each candle name in this collection is an emblem of red, and overlaps, coincides, or supports the others in an interwoven history of universal symbolism. (A red sign forbids something when the consequence is bloodshed, the passion we feel in our hearts burns like fire, and so on.)

So let's dare to cross the Rubicon, avoiding red herrings, to discover the red thread that connects the various meanings of a rich, magnificent color.

For the fascinating history and science of red, be sure to follow Werther & Gray on social media through September and October!

The Scents

Luxurious & Complex

Each Red candle is crafted using the finest perfumery materials, including rare natural oils and highly precious synthetics. The fragrances are complex, beautiful, and sometimes delightfully unexpected.

Blood and Embers & Ash are slight reformulations of the original scents, while Forbidden Fruit and Passion are entirely new, exclusive, and meticulously formulated in-house from the ground up.
