This store is not available as a candle to ship, however there is a room spray version available here.  Capturing from the pulse of the Nolita area of Manhattan from quiet moments getting ready to that last long after the flame goes out. This page is only for in-store Kiehl's purchases only, kindly click on links for No. 2 Elle and No. 17 Private Reserve to order online. 

Three scents. Three moods. One throughline of quality and character. The short version:

No. 20 NOLITA -created for the Locally Made Initiative residency at Kiehl's. A sexy scent with edge, the lavender gives way to leather and whiskey. 

Smells like: lavender at first light and the aftermath of a night that blurred on its own terms.

Burn when: you’re already out mentally, even if you’re still home.

Mood: self-possessed, intimate, unapologetic.

No. 2 ELLE honors beauty, loyalty, and memory. A red rose that unfolds into leather like a romantic date that ends in embracing. (Representing the Woof side of the brand.) Romance with an edge. 

No. 17 PRIVATE RESERVE brings the warmth of whiskeyand confidence that doesn’t need to speak first. Cashmere wraps around you followed by musk and whiskey to create a cosy and sexy scent to turn heads. (Representing the Whiskey side of the brand.)

Each candle holds a distinct point of view but shares the same foundation: elevated craftsmanship, emotional resonance, and an understanding that scent should feel as personal as it smells. 

The full scent stories: 

🕯️ No. 20 NOLITA 
 Vibrant, self possessed, and unapolegetic

Fragrance Family: Aromatic Woody Floral

Lavender. Leather. Whiskey.

Top: Clove, Bergamot, Whiskey 
Heart: Lavender, Rose & Labdanum
Base: Leather, Oak, Tonka Bean, & Tobacco Leaves

Smells like: lavender and bergamot on a cool night, smooth whiskey over old wood, the scent of balance after a long day.
Burn when: you need a reset that still keeps your pulse steady.
Mood: grounded clarity.

This candle doesn’t ease you in. It lets go.

The opening is lavender forward. Clean, aromatic, quietly confident. Bergamot lifts it, clove warms it, but nothing rushes. It reads composed, not careful.

As it burns, the mood shifts without asking permission. Lavender fades back and the heart comes forward. Whiskey shows up smooth and low, wrapped in rose and labdanum that add heat and pull rather than sweetness. It feels like late hours and close conversations.

The base is where the edge lives. Leather, oak, tonka, and tobacco leaf settle into the room slowly. Warm. Lived-in. A little dangerous. Not loud. Just undeniable.

Created in collaboration with Kiehl’s, this scent reframes lavender away from softness and into self-command. Leather adds the armor. Whiskey adds the history.

This is Whiskey & Woof after dark. Not about balance. About knowing exactly when you don’t need it.

This candle was first created in collaboration with Kiehl’s and draws inspiration from the the healing power of lavender, using design and scent to expand the conversation around masculinity, adventure, and personal ritual. The leather in this blend nods to that legacy: a protective layer, a lived-in edge. Using the lavender you collected and dried for other projects was the weather cools. 

The whiskey note completes the story: grounding the fragrance in the soul of Whiskey & Woof, where memory, place, and personal power always burn in layers. 

N0. 2 ELLE representing the ultimate WOOF side of the brand, it's a love letter to loyalty, beauty, and the moments that live forever in our memories.

No. 2 Elle blends red roses still in bloom with the lived-in comfort of worn leather — a scent that’s both tender and strong. It carries that charged quiet right before connection: flowers in the air, soft leather beneath your hands, a pause that feels infinite.

A love letter to loyalty, memory, and quiet strength. Red roses still in bloom, soft leather worn by time — a scent that holds both tenderness and resilience. Inspired by Elle, the Frenchie who taught us that beauty lives in every small moment.
