Sunny, verdant, and endlessly dreamy, this energizing fragrance centers one of Ingrid's favorite smells and an unusual note to find in candles: fresh dill. Combined with cucumber, juicy peaches and wet earth, Heatwave is balanced, unique and the perfect scent to burn for a little mood boost. In the studio, we affectionally call this our \"sleeper hit\" because at first glance people aren't sure what to expect, but when they smell this fragrance, they keep coming back for more – making it our \u003cstrong\u003etop bestseller of all-time.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"THE NEW SAVANT","offers":[{"title":"7oz.

Peonies represent Ingrid’s past, often fraught relationship with femininity. Muddled raspberries, juniper and lemon give nod to the Clover Club – a drink once reserved for wealthy white men, that fell out of fashion when it was perceived as being feminine. Thai rose apple (\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eชมพู่ or \"\u003c\/span\u003echompoo\") incorporates her Southeast Asian heritage and represents the entwined nature of culture and identity. Crinkled book pages pay homage to mid-century lesbian pulp fiction, which was often written off as salacious fluff, but became a lifeline for millions of queer women. Finally, spicy chili peppers add an unexpected heat while illustrating the edges within femininity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSITC captures the tension of simultaneously being at odds and completely in love with who you are – something Ingrid has felt all her life. Together, these notes come together to create a scent that is glamorous, complex, provocative and multifaceted. It is never just one thing.
