Showtime with Emma Slater: A Dancing With the Stars Inspired Candle

From the DWTS Tour Bus to Your Living Room

I'll never forget stepping onto the Dancing With the Stars tour bus in Boston. The night before, I had watched Emma Slater command the stage with her signature elegance and charisma—so walking into her world, I felt both thrilled and inspired. The energy was electric. Amid that whirlwind, Emma and I began talking—not about choreography, but about fragrance, design, and the beauty of creating something lasting for fans beyond the stage.

70s Dance Floor Inspiration: Bold, Iconic & Unforgettable

Emma lit up when she talked about the 70s, an era of bold expression, iconic dance floors, and music that brought people together. That instantly became our design inspiration.

The vessel gleams in gold, catching the light like a spotlight waiting for its star. The label is patterned after the illuminated squares of a '70s dance floor, a nod to nights when strangers became community under disco lights. Layered in jewel tones, the design carries its own sophistication—sapphire for calm, emerald for vitality, amethyst for creativity. Together, they're a visual reminder that performance is about both individuality and connection.

A Fragrance That Dances: Layered Like a Performance

The luxury fragrance itself is layered like a dance routine, unfolding step by step:

Top Notes: Bright bursts of bergamot, satsuma mandarin, and pink pepper bring an instant burst of energy, like the first cue of music.

Heart Notes: The heart blooms with plum blossom, red dahlia, and raspberry sorbet—playful, dramatic, and unexpected, just like Emma on the dance floor.

Base Notes: Finally, it settles into a grounding base of cedarwood and dreamwood, anchoring the brightness with a sultry, velvety finish.

It's vibrant yet sophisticated, glamorous yet grounded—the perfect balance of performance and presence.

More Than a Candle: A Ritual for Celebration & Stillness

But Showtime isn't only about the spectacle. It's about the ritual. Emma and I talked about how candles can mark a moment: lighting one before a DWTS watch party, letting the glow carry the excitement of the performance, or simply pausing in the middle of a busy day to take a mindful breath.

Showtime is designed for both—the celebration and the stillness, the glamour and the intimacy.

Step Into Your Spotlight

For Emma and me, this celebrity collaboration candle is an invitation: to step into your own spotlight, to feel the energy of a stage even from your living room, and to remember that shining doesn't always mean being seen—it means being present.

And when we light it together, across homes and cities, we become our own community, cheering for one another in the glow.
