Inside the Collection

Flora Neale Hurston
Blossoming Red Roses • Warm Woods • Slight Musk
Inspired by Zora Neale Hurston’s vibrant sense of place and celebration of Black Southern life. This fragrance blooms with sunlit florals and warm earth, capturing the beauty of a world she wrote so boldly into being.

Langston’s Library
Leather • Balsam
A warm, nostalgic scent that feels like stepping into a treasured library. Notes of worn leather and aged pages pay tribute to Langston Hughes’s artistry, rhythm, and timeless literary voice.

Peony Morrison
Dandelions • Peonies • Bergamot
Elegant, atmospheric, and quietly powerful—just like the prose of Toni Morrison. This fragrance balances soft florals with grounding depth, creating a scent that lingers with intention.

Maya Tangelo
Tangelo Citrus • Warm Woods • Mint Tea
Bright, comforting, and full of wisdom. Inspired by Maya Angelou’s evocative storytelling and the sensory memories woven through her work.

Whether gifted to a devoted reader, a candle lover, or kept as a personal indulgence, The Authors is an invitation to light a candle and step into a story. Perfect for celebrations, or any moment that calls for beauty, thoughtfulness, and luxury.
