Cowboy Christmas

Smells like: amber / Montana juniper / frankincense / whiskey

For the most wonderful time of the year, we wanted to create something that would bring all the nostalgic scents of the holidays together like family. Heavy amber and Montana juniper give classic frankincense a Ranger edge, and we round it out with just a touch of the whiskey we know you’re cracking open once the young’uns go to bed. Break out the eggnog and gather ‘round, y’all: it’s Cowboy Christmas.

Lumberjack

Smells like: fresh-cut cedar / leather / musk / juniper

Born around a campfire and raised on the legend of Paul Bunyan, Lumberjack is a perfect companion for bonfire season. Leather and musk complement notes of cedar and juniper to bring the smoky delight of a great fire to you anywhere – no sparks required.

Oakmoss

Smells like: moss / cedarwood / amber / bergamot

A fragrance inspired by the most peculiar of places, Oakmoss began with the reminiscent smell of vintage Brut Aftershave, stripped to create a powerful symphony of clean and crisp notes. Laid with a base of warm wood, it’s tied together with a touch of lavender to accentuate a brighter, botanical quality. Almost like walking through a moss-studded forest with the lingering mist of a vintage, tiled shower. Like we said, peculiar.

Santalum

Smells like: sandalwood / amber resin / iris / leather

A modern classic with a cult following, it’s no easy feat to differentiate a sandalwood scent; we designed our Santalum as a challenge, both to ourselves and to those around us. In a way, it’s our character statement: a scent that stands on its own with some of the most hyped and exclusive fragrances on the market, but without the markup.

Leather + Pine

Smells like: tanned leather / pine sap / amber / sandalwood

Inspired by coming of age in the Minnesota north woods, Leather + Pine was the candle that started it all and is still one of our all-time best sellers. A scent derived from experience, it is a pioneering blend of sticky, sweet, and savoury notes. A scent that’ll wear in like your favourite pair of leather gloves.

Sandalwood + Bergamot

Smells like: sandalwood / bergamot / vetiver / smoke

The intensely earthy scent of Sandalwood & Bergamot is wildly aromatic but also subtle, with a mellow, woodsy finish. Like a well-worn linen shirt aged to perfection by sun and smoke, the scent is woven together with the deep-forest spice of redwood and vetiver and the clean, bright notes of white musk and citrus. Picture a tidy hand-built cabin, deep in the Catskills of Upstate New York, rain pattering on the roof and a fire glowing in the hearth.

Ranger Station

The idea for creating candles in reusable cocktail glasses was born in 2015, when founder Steve Soderholm was home from travelling the world as a touring drummer. Inspired by a childhood spent in the Minnesota North Woods, Steve set out to develop rich, earthy fragrances that could emulate the finest scents found in nature while also elevating the experience of a room.

Soderholm was a keen mixologist and enjoyed hosting friends for drinks. He began experimenting with candle-making on the stovetop, pouring his creations into whiskey glasses. He eventually graduated from the stovetop to the garage, then from the garage to a small Nashville studio. He soon mastered the fragrances he always dreamt of finding in the store but never could, and continued presenting them in the now-signature Ranger Station cocktail glasses—designed to be both reusable and collectable. Each one comes with a coordinating cocktail recipe in tribute to Ranger Station’s humble beginnings.

Having found the key to combining his passion for creating inviting spaces and well-crafted whiskey drinks for his friends and family, his off-the-road hobby quickly grew into a full-time gig. In 2018, his sought-after candles were transformed into rich and luxurious personal scents that capture the essence of Nashville – mountains, forests, ranches, music, and whiskey. Soderholm’s wife, Jordan, worked in marketing and helped with Ranger Station’s branding, logo, and website. She officially joined the team in 2020.

Ranger Station continues to develop unforgettable scent compositions that are both grounding whilst transcending the confines of the daily grind. Each candle is designed to add depth to any room it’s lit, and each personal fragrance — a statement of individuality and refinement that leaves a lasting impression. With its cult-like following, the brand launched a programme called ‘Features’ where they collaborate with artists and musicians on custom fragrances that complement their album or single.
