The Black Sand Collection
SIIM HOME SCENTS
Three candles rooted in three deeply personal Jamaican stories. A childhood home on a black sand beach, a hilltop road above the Kingston skyline and the open water where a father threw his infant daughter into the sea and she swam.
MANDALAY
Black sand. Salt air. The whole world... just enough.
A house on a black sand beach at the edge of Kingston. A garden that grew thyme, rosemary and a rose stubborn enough to survive the salt. A child in the surf — loved, safe, completely free.
​
Mandalay doesn't exist anymore. But some places live on in the body. This candle is that place.
​
Light it on quiet nights when you need the sea close again.

SKYLINE DRIVE
Up pon di hill. Above the noise. Finally.
There is a road in Kingston that sits just above everything. High enough to see the whole city spread out below you — the harbour glittering, the heat and hustle reduced to a quiet hum. Close enough that you never really left. Far enough that it feels like another world entirely.
​
That is what this candle does to a room.
​
Light it when the city won't quiet down and you need that hilltop breeze to remember what calm feels like.

VITAMIN SEA
Deep water. No bottom. No fear. Home.
A boat. Lime Cay. Crystal clear water just outside Kingston Harbour. A father who lifted his infant daughter over the side and let her go. Her body remembered. She swam.
​
For those of us who grew up on this island, the deep end is not a threat. It is a release. This candle is for anyone who has ever felt that — feet off the bottom, held by something vast and somehow completely safe.
​
Light it before a big leap. New job. New city. New love. When you need courage like that first plunge.
