Cahaba
The Cahaba River is a contradiction. On one hand it is Alabama’s wildest river. The Cahaba is the longest free-flowing river in the state and contains more fish species alone than in the entire state of California. On the other hand it is very cosmopolitan. The river flows through Alabama’s largest metropolitan area, home to one-quarter of the state population. That contradiction is what inspired the scent of the candle — a blend of warm tobacco and sweet caramel.

To celebrate and bring awareness to the amazing aquatic biodiversity of our home state of Alabama, we are proud to introduce our Alabama Rivers Collection.
The wilderness of Alabama is truly unique. In terms of overall plant and animal biodiversity Alabama ranks high. The state is fourth nationally (and first among states east of the Mississippi) in the number of total species with 6,350. But the aquatic biodiversity is where the state really shines. With more than 132,000 miles of rivers and streams, Alabama is ranked first for diversity of freshwater fishes, mussels, snails, crayfish and turtles. Many of these are endemic to Alabama, and some live only in a specific creek or watershed.
With this candle collection, we’re hoping you can be inspired to get out, explore, and enjoy the waterways and surrounding wilderness areas of our great state.
