Soul Guardian

Things were going great for the demon Bael-Sharoth until a little girl summoned him to open a jar of tomato sauce. Now he's trapped in the human world along with his arch nemesis the beautiful and capable Maharet Flameheart.

Life isn't easy for a demon in a small town. But at least the parks are hellhound friendly and the werewolf at the local bookshop seems nice enough.

Bael and Maharet must find a loving human family to take in this powerful young witch before time runs out or risk being stuck on earth forever.

Cozy Pairings

Each pairing is chosen to create a cozy moment where scent, story, and craft come together.
Speakeasy

Speakeasy is a rich and layered fragrance that opens with warm spice and soft smoke, blending cardamom, incense, and pimento berry. At its heart, notes of saffron, plum blossom, and tobacco leaves create a deep and slightly sweet warmth, while hints of licorice add a subtle intrigue. The scent settles into a smooth, lingering base of palo santo, patchouli, vanilla, and dark chocolate, bringing a soft sweetness to its darker edges. Complex and atmospheric, this fragrance feels warm, enveloping, and quietly captivating.

Why we chose this: A demon trapped in the human world, his capable nemesis beside him whether he likes it or not, and a small girl who summoned him to open a jar of tomato sauce: this story is funnier and warmer than its premise suggests, but it never loses that undercurrent of something otherworldly. Speakeasy carries that same quality, rich and layered, with a warmth that feels just slightly beyond the ordinary. Light this candle and let the smoky cardamom and dark chocolate fill the room while Bael and Maharet figure out that saving a child and falling for each other might not be so different after all.
