The Island Stories Behind the Scents
Every Katama Candle begins with a real moment on Martha’s Vineyard.
Katama Breeze was born on a walk down the bike path toward South Beach, where the scent of wild honeysuckle suddenly carried through the air and the bright orange petals of butterfly flowers danced in the coastal wind.
Cedar Tree Neck was inspired by one of my favorite Island hikes, winding through scraggly scrub pines before opening to breathtaking views of Vineyard Sound along the rugged sanctuary trails.
Menemsha Sunset captures one of the Vineyard’s most beloved rituals: picking up a lobster roll from Larsen's Fish Market and watching the sky turn gold over the harbor, a memory that also happens to mark one of my first dates with my partner Brendan.
Up-Island Orchard reflects the quiet shift of the seasons, inspired by crisp fall afternoons on the Island and the simple pleasure of bringing home fresh apples from the farmstand.
Each candle is a small piece of Martha’s Vineyard, poured to capture the places, moments, and memories that make the Island unforgettable.

Chrissie's Last Swim
Jaws-inspired Candle
Inspired by the infamous opening scene and handcrafted on Amity Island (also known as Martha's Vineyard), this 9oz candle pays homage to where the legend began.
Scented with notes of ripe apricot, (a nod to Quint's apricot brandy) with a subtle twist of dread, this candle captures the sun-soaked innocence of a summer night... and the unease that lingers just beneath the surface.
Poured with 100% soy wax and topped with a hand-shaped wax shark, Chrissie's Last Swim is bold, eerie, and unmistakably Vineyard.
