Stephanie Walker is a Vancouver-based wine importer and small business owner.
We’ve been fans of Stephanie’s roving wine pop-up, Vin Van, for years, but only recently connected in person after she included Homecoming in a list of her favourite things for Vancouver Magazine.
That moment of mutual appreciation led to a studio hang, and eventually, a new collaborative candle: Amber Aura.
Inspired by the feeling of sipping a magical local wine at golden hour, this limited-edition scent features notes of amber, sandalwood, light musk, lavender, and palo santo.
Amber Aura will be available exclusively at upcoming Vin Van pop-ups, where Stephanie curates a beautiful selection of B.C. wines.
Keep reading to learn about Stephanie’s favourite scents and get a first look at Amber Aura.
HOMECOMING: Tell us about one of your favourite scents
STEPHANIE: “I think of trips to the cabin, my husband getting out of the shower after using the Kiels Musk body wash. He smells clean and masculine next to the fresh scent of lavender in a vase that we picked from outside.”
HOMECOMING: How does this scent make you feel?
STEPHANIE: “Safe, warm, comfortable. like I could open a beautiful Beaujolais and crack into a great book. ”
