On the Inlet | mint rosemary lavender cedarwood | Travel Candle
The scent that takes me back to where it all began.
If there's one place that tells the story of The Hobbyist, it's the Tofino Botanical Gardens.
Inspired by the quiet beauty of winding forest trails, towering cedar trees, and the calm waters of Clayoquot Sound, this was the place where I found myself returning again and again. It's also where The Hobbyist first began to take shape, making this scent one I'll always come back to.
Blending fresh lavender, cooling mint, cedarwood, and rosemary, On the Inlet captures the feeling of crisp forest air, the ocean just beyond the trees, and the kind of stillness that's becoming harder to find. Fresh, herbaceous, and deeply grounding, it's a scent that has become a favourite within our community.
Whether you're taking a little piece of Tofino on your travels or simply longing for a slower pace at home, On the Inlet brings the feeling of the West Coast into your everyday rituals.
