Greenman Woodwick Soy Candle – Wolf's Moon

Same scent as Ash & Woodsmoke, different name. Wolf's Moon shares an identical fragrance profile: cracked black pepper and smoky birch tar on top, smouldering wood, incense, and patchouli in the middle, ash, amber, and charred cedarwood at the base. If you've read the Ash & Woodsmoke description, you already know what this smells like — dark, smoky, firelit, intense. The difference is positioning: where Ash & Woodsmoke presents itself in direct, elemental terms, Wolf's Moon leans into atmosphere and narrative. Hand-poured soy wax, wooden wick, green glass jar with cork lid. 150g. Approximately 26 hours of burn time.

The Scent

• Black pepper and birch tar open with dry, smoky heat. The heart settles into smouldering wood, incense, and patchouli — warm, resinous, earthy. The base is ash, amber, and charred cedarwood. For the full note-by-note breakdown, see the Ash & Woodsmoke listing — the fragrance is the same in both candles.
• The name "Wolf's Moon" refers to the January full moon — named by some Native American and early European traditions for the howling of wolves in midwinter. It's an evocative name that suggests cold nights, dark woods, and firelight. Whether that atmosphere adds to your enjoyment of the scent is personal; the scent itself doesn't change.
• This is the most polarising fragrance in the range. People who respond to smoky, woody, campfire-adjacent scents will find it compelling. People who prefer light, fresh, or floral fragrances will not. The Wolf's Moon name may draw buyers who are attracted to the atmospheric or gothic positioning but aren't prepared for how dark and smoky the actual scent is — worth noting for anyone choosing based on the name alone.

The Burn

Wooden wick, clean-burning soy wax. The crackle suits the smoky scent profile — it reinforces the firelit atmosphere. Allow the first burn to melt the full wax surface (2–3 hours) to prevent tunnelling on subsequent burns. Trim the charred wick tip before each relight.

The Scent in Context

Naming the same fragrance twice isn't unusual in candle ranges. It lets a brand position one scent for two different audiences or moods: "Ash & Woodsmoke" appeals to someone shopping for a straightforward smoky candle; "Wolf's Moon" appeals to someone drawn to evocative, story-led products. Both lead to the same experience once lit. The practical advantage for the buyer is choice of name and label for gifting or personal preference — the scent work is identical.

Gift Notes

If you're choosing between this and Ash & Woodsmoke as a gift, pick the name that suits the recipient. Wolf's Moon works better for someone who responds to atmospheric or story-driven product naming — gothic sensibilities, nature imagery, full-moon associations. Ash & Woodsmoke works better for someone who wants to know exactly what they're getting from the label. The candle inside is the same.

Common Questions

Is this really the same scent as Ash & Woodsmoke?
Yes. Identical fragrance notes across top, heart, and base. Different name, different label positioning, same scent.

Why are there two candles with the same fragrance?
Different names attract different buyers. "Ash & Woodsmoke" is descriptive — you know what you're getting. "Wolf's Moon" is atmospheric — it sells a mood rather than a scent description. Both approaches work; they just appeal to different shopping styles.

Which one should I buy?
Whichever name you prefer on your shelf or as a gift label. The burning experience is identical.
