Best Seller. Best Smeller?

 For the first few years of business, one fragrance held the blue ribbon slot in our best seller list. This particular fragrance was always described to us as “mild and complex” “mellow and masculine” and “like a very attractive man” and we responded to email after email from shops requesting this candle. We sold a ton of them. I created the first run of Tobacco Bay candles in the kitchen of my (and my roommates) house while in college at Auburn University and for years it was the number 1 seller in the lineup but it was in the brutally warm and long Summer months in 2017 that a new candle emerged to take the throne in our candle hearts to became the best selling candle that we produce: Succulent. Our Succulent candle was inspired by the greenhouse at RJ and Katherine Reynolds, Reynolda House in Winston Salem, North Carolina where, once entered into, you were transformed into a life in which everything you encountered was thoughtfully placed, vibrant, and fully inspired by beauty. The gardens surrounding the greenhouse were vast and thriving and the architecture of each building splendidly captured the vision of Reynolds wife, Katherine. The greenhouse built in the early 1900’s was still green, damp, and flourishing with plants large and small.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We knew when producing this candle that most succulents do not throw a fragrance. We get the question often - What is a succulent supposed to smell like? This is one of the few fragrances that we created with a specific vibe in mind, not a list of fragrance notes (Other candles like this; Cannabis and Wooden no.2) When you light this candle you will get notes of Pear and Agave followed by Cactus and Wild Flower and then leveled out with a mellow Rosewood. It is a bright, delicate, and modern fragrance and the color of terra cotta and muted greens immediately comes to mind when lit.

We were intentional about releasing this candle at a time in which we were getting wedged into a “man candle” category. I began to feel the tension to produce overtly masculine fragrances and knew I wanted to tell a story that was balanced and was a full representation of every aspect of myself and my surroundings. The Succulent candle was not only a response to the call for a floral candle that fills the room gracefully, it was an evolution of Great Bear and the continuation in a story of fragrance, both the ones that serve as reminders for our sweetest memories and the ones that will define the new memories that we create every single day.

    Is There A Way to Get My Money Back From A Fake Bitcoin Investment Trading Platform?

    What to Do Immediately After a Cryptocurrency ScamDiscovering that you’ve been scammed in a cryptocurrency transaction can be shocking and stressful. However, acting quickly and following the correct steps can significantly improve the chances of tracing the stolen assets and protecting yourself from further damage. Many victims feel helpless after losing funds to crypto fraud, but with the right guidance and professional cyber investigation support, recovery and accountability may still be possible.
    The first and most important step is to stop all communication with the scammer immediately. Scammers often attempt to manipulate victims emotionally or convince them to send more funds under the promise of recovering the lost cryptocurrency. Once you suspect fraud, do not send additional payments and do not share personal or financial information.
    Next, secure all of your digital accounts. Change the passwords for your cryptocurrency wallets, email accounts, and any trading platforms you use. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if it is not already active. This step helps prevent further unauthorized access or attempts to compromise your accounts.
    It is also essential to collect and preserve all evidence related to the scam. This includes transaction IDs, wallet addresses used by the scammer, screenshots of conversations, payment confirmations, emails, website links, and any other communication you had with the fraudulent party. These details are extremely valuable for investigators and can help trace the movement of the stolen cryptocurrency across blockchain networks.
    You should also report the scam to the relevant authorities and platforms. Notify the cryptocurrency exchange or wallet provider you used for the transaction. In some cases, exchanges may be able to flag suspicious wallet addresses or freeze assets if they enter their systems. Reporting the incident to cybercrime authorities in your country can also help build cases against organized fraud networks.
    Because cryptocurrency transactions are recorded on blockchain ledgers, professional asset tracing is often possible. While transactions cannot be reversed like traditional bank transfers, blockchain forensics can identify patterns, track wallet movements, and sometimes connect stolen funds to exchanges or identifiable entities.
    This is where specialized cyber investigation teams become valuable.

    Always be cautious of individuals or websites pretending to represent recovery companies. Beware of fake reviews, impersonation profiles, and testimonials designed to promote scammers. Many fraud networks attempt to trick victims a second time by pretending to offer recovery services.

However, their team applies professional expertise, digital forensic techniques, and investigative resources to every case with integrity and ethical standards.
    If you have been affected by cryptocurrency fraud, remember that you are not alone. Taking the right steps, documenting evidence, and working with experienced investigators can help you understand what happened and explore potential paths toward accountability and asset tracing.
