HOW OUR FRAGRANCE NAMES ARE BORN

Every name begins with a moment of wonder.

At MachMoon, our fragrances are inspired by the cosmos — by celestial bodies, distant moons, constellations, and the stories they’ve carried for thousands of years.
We choose names that reflect emotion, atmosphere, and the feeling each candle creates.

We study the mythology behind lunar discoveries, the meaning of star clusters, and the poetic nature of cosmic formations.
From there, each candle becomes a story:

• STRELLA embodies starlight and uplifted energy.

• PERSEUS channels boldness, warmth, and ancient constellations.

• LAPETUS reflects quiet lunar calm and shadowed stillness.

Our naming process is rooted in inspiration — from astronomy, mythology, night skies, and the quiet moments that spark imagination.

Each fragrance name is chosen with intention, emotion, and meaning, ensuring that every candle feels like a small piece of the universe brought home.
