Our Craft;
Every Candle has a code.
PHILOSOPHY
Still Hour was never meant to be a product you pick off a shelf without thinking. Every candle in the Somatic State Collection is made by hand, in small batches, with deliberate attention to the process from the first pour to the final cure.
The batch code on your ritual card is proof of that. It tells you exactly when your candle was made, where it fell in the pour session, and who made it. No two candles share the same code. Yours is yours.
This is what intentional production looks like. Not a factory run. Not a numbered sticker applied after the fact. A real record of a real moment, written by the person who poured it.
READING YOUR BATCH CODE
Using the example: TB001-8/12-MR26-SH/BR
TB001 The batch identifier. The first two letters identify the scent — TB for Tether, AB for Anchor. The three digit number is the batch sequence. TB001 is the first batch of Tether ever poured by Still Hour. That number will never repeat.
8/12 Your candle's place in the pour session. This one was the 8th jar filled out of 12 poured that day. Every jar in a session is filled from the same wax and fragrance blend, in sequence. This tells you exactly where yours sat in that pour.
MR26 The pour date. MR26 is March 2026. This is the day the wax was melted, the fragrance was added, and your candle came into existence. After this date, every candle cures for a minimum of 10 to 14 days before it is released.
SH/BR Still Hour, poured by Brandon Falcao. Every candle currently in the Somatic State Collection is poured by the founder. As the brand grows, this code will always tell you who made yours.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Mass produced candles are made in runs of thousands with no record of who made them or when. Still Hour operates differently by design. Small batches mean better quality control, more intentional production, and a product that can be traced back to a specific person on a specific day.
Your batch code is not a gimmick. It is the standard we hold ourselves to with every pour.
