Scent transforms how people feel — and how they remember the experience.
Fragrance isn’t background. It’s the signal that says: Here, inspiration happens. Creativity flows. People belong.
This August, that signal is Fogata | Bonfire — a luxury bonfire candle that blends the grounding comfort of leather and sandalwood with the spice of clove and allspice. Part of our Core Collection, Fogata is our Scent of the Month because it bridges late summer scents and cozy fall scents in one unforgettable fragrance.
THE NOTES — A SMOKY CANDLE SCENT WITH DEPTH
🔝 Top: Leather & allspice
💖 Heart: Teakwood, tobacco leaves & clove
🌰 Base: Sandalwood, peppercorn & amber
This smoky candle scent is grounding yet luminous — like standing close to a crackling fire as the stars emerge. It’s a fragrance that works just as beautifully in a hospitality lounge or corporate reception as it does in your own living room.
THE GATHERING MOMENT
In Spanish, “fogata” means bonfire. For us, it’s more than fire — it’s the gathering around it.
The warmth on your skin. The glow on familiar faces. The rhythm of laughter and ideas carried on the night air.
Fogata reminds me of bonfire nights on Ocean Beach here in San Francisco, and of my summer childhood memories in my father’s hometown of Santa Marta, Colombia — where warm evenings stretched endlessly, and the air carried both the sea breeze and the scent of woodsmoke.
Fogata was inspired by those moments — the kind that spark connection, whether with friends, clients, or colleagues. It’s why we recommend it not just for home, but for corporate scenting and hospitality spaces where you want people to linger and feel welcome.
HOW TO EXPERIENCE FOGATA THIS MONTH
-
In the workplace: Create a warm, confident first impression in a lobby or client meeting space.
-
In retail: Slow shoppers down and encourage browsing with a subtle, inviting teakwood candle aroma.
-
At home: Light during golden hour before guests arrive, or as a grounding wind‑down ritual after a long day.
Fogata’s balance of warm earthy aromas and spice makes it a year‑round anchor — but it shines in this late summer to fall transition.

MEET VIVIANA LUXURY
Founded in San Francisco, Viviana Luxury is a Latina owned candle brand — and a family‑owned small business. I started it to create the flexibility to care for my elderly father as he lives with advanced Parkinson’s disease.
This is why we made a health‑ and sustainability‑first promise: because it’s personal to our family’s journey. Every candle we make is designed to be safe, clean, and crafted with intention.
This month, let Fogata anchor your evenings — and remind you that the best moments are the ones we gather for.
