Product Insights
A handcrafted Italian candle from an art project turned brand, Purple Haze embodies 1960s counterculture with a cannabis top note that fades quickly and a historically accurate patchouli-heavy base that dominates the scent, supported by a cool violet leaf. Its dense, earthy patchouli profile evokes a damp forest floor, but buyers report it overpowers other notes, contradicting the intended balance. The candle burns 48 hours—10 fewer than Diptyque—and costs $0.20–$0.30 more per hour, justified by its hand-finished glass vessel and printed memoir of the founder's chance encounter with a Key West busker. The core promise is an authentic, narrative-driven scent experience, with the tradeoff of strong patchouli intensity and premium pricing.

User review of 19-69 Purple Haze candle
I had their Purple Haze candle and liked it ok. I prefer larger candles for the money, though. These are about in line with Diptyque and DS&D regarding size in ounces. The scent was a bit too much patchouli for my personal taste, but the throw was… adequate. Overall, it was a “meh” for me. Not bad, just not outstanding.
