The 7 Virtues Clementine Dream Fragrance
When Canadian Barb Stegemann’s best friend was injured in Afghanistan as a soldier, she vowed to carry on his mission of peace. Launched in 2010, The 7 Virtues fragrance line is now sold in 16 countries around the world and celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. Leaping Bunny and B-Corp certified, each scent features transparent sourcing of its fragrance oils (like orange blossom from Afghanistan and patchouli from Rwanda) and lasts 24 hours thanks to a 22 per cent concentration of oils (double the industry standard).
The brand’s Clementine Dream sets out to be the longest-wearing citrus fragrance on the market. Sustainably sourced mandarin oil and cassis are anchored by upcycled black amber and base notes of vanilla that effectively linger for up to 72 hours.
Lulworth Candle by Roam The Brand
While Roam candles are hand-poured locally in Vancouver, their scents evoke the adventure and novelty of travel afar. In ceramic vessels and pint-sized travel tins, the line spans Canadian locales with names like Ucluelet, featuring sage and eucalyptus, and Churchill, which is redolent of maple and vanilla bean.
The latest addition to Roam’s stable of coconut-scents casts its nose farther afield to Lulworth Cove on England’s Jurassic Coast. Lulworth recalls the romance and rugged beauty of the Dorset coast with sandalwood, clove, patchouli, and lily. You can now travel, sleep, and smell easy knowing 5 per cent of all Roam profits support Coral Gardeners, an organization dedicated to restoring coral reefs and revitalizing ocean ecosystems.

The timeless outerwear lifestyle brand just opened its first Canadian location in Vancouver, ready to take on the city’s six-month rainy season one slick rain jacket at a time.
