When we added Motor City Incense to our lineup in 2008, we had a chance to create some great new scents. Before long, people were asking us to make them in candles, too. What a GREAT idea!

Just like with Motor City Incense, our Great Lakes Scents are all named for great places in Michigan.

Because these scents are so great, we decided to offer some of them in a great new jar, and our popular D-Lights
and votives.
