Smells Like Merz!

Steeped in history and over a century of knowledge, our brick and mortar store, Merz Apothecary, has always provided a delightful experience for those seeking unique, hard-to-find personal care items. 

When customers step through the stained glass door, the most common phrase we hear is, "It smells SO good in here!" We created this candle to capture the intriguing aromas of our store. Cedar and vetiver from our fragrance counter mingle with armoise and medicinal herbs, topped off by the cassis notes of classic European pastilles. Welcome to Merz Apothecary.  To celebrate 150 years in business, we've created our own candle, so you can bring the scent of our brick & mortar store home with you!

Hand poured right here in Chicago this candle lets you bring 80 hours of that elusive and comforting fragrance home with you.

Opening with the unique notes of armoise and buchu to commemorate our rich herbal selection, and bergamot and sage to brighten things up, just like our vintage chandeliers. The middle is comprised of vetiver, magnolia, violet and rose adding depth and warmth with a touch of floral. These notes are classic and fragrant just like our expansive niche fragrance selection. Finishing with sandalwood, cedarwood, patchouli and musk the base here is just like the rich woods of our historic pharmacy counters and elegant hardwood floors. This fragrance celebrates 150 years of our expertise and unending selection, here's to 150 more years!

Great holiday gift!!!

"We purchased this for my mother. She is a long time Merz fan. Guess what! She loved it. And the smell is a unique blend from house fragrances/aromas. Such a cool commemorative gift."

Unique Scent

"I purchased this online without having smelled it first. This candle comes in a beautiful shade of blue glass. The smell is unique which I appreciate. It is a strong smell with notes I cannot fully identify. The candle gives off a pungent scent even when unlit and for this reason I can only burn it for about 30 minutes at a time and then I need to extinguish it. It smells good however this is not the kind of candle I would suggest if you are sensitive to strong scents."

Great candle

"Lovely and unusual scent. I have not shopped in the store in person so can't say how close this is to the real thing, but the candle is generously sized and burns evenly. Great value for the price."

Janice (5/5)

Heaven Scent!

"When I saw these given out at the celebration I was instantly hoping they would be available for purchase. When I got the notification that they were available I bought 2 hoping that I would not regret it and let me tell you I sure did not. I literally just laid on my couch and smelled the candle for what some might consider an unhealthy amount of time haha. The scent is just enticingly beautiful, herbal, and reminiscent of a lovely stroll through Merz!"

Lovely candle, fantastic scent

"I've been shopping at Merz since the early 80s, so I was pretty excited to see that they've developed a candle to capture the amazing smell of the store. I bought one for myself and one for my sister who lives out of state and can't shop in-store as often as she'd like. The smell is lovely though I think it could have used a little more of the herby, menthol component that you experience when you walk into the store. It was also a somewhat high price point for a candle, but I suppose that's on account of it being a custom scent. Overall, very happy with my purchase. Such a great way to celebrate the shop's anniversary!"

Lovely Fragrance/Good Value

"Definitely smells like an apothecary. The fragrance is warm and welcoming, opening a bit floral and becoming a bit herbal. It burns nicely, too. I’m planning to get another while they’re still available."

Rebecca (5/5)

Nice!

"Subtle but nice. Smells like tea."
