By now, you might know a little bit about Refynery… at least that’s the goal. We’re an event studio and social club based in Chicago. Just like our Windy City, we come with opinions, edge, and a whole lotta heart.

Sea, Air & Land

A bright rewrite of destiny — sea air, soft moss, and the feeling of standing somewhere between the land, the sea, and the sky. Ophelia’s Fate is clean, lifted, quietly dramatic in the most elegant way. Perfect for moments of reinvention: new chapters, fresh mornings, or whenever you want your space to smell like a better version of whatever came before. A scent that chooses hope on purpose.

40-hour burn time. Vessel color may vary — the fate shifts, the quality doesn’t

Botanicals & Rain-Washed Plum

Crisp botanicals and rain-washed plum snap the world back into focus — a tiny act of rebirth with every inhale. Touchin’ Grass is the scent of grounding without getting boring: bright, fresh, just playful enough to feel like a reset you actually want. Light it during mornings that need clarity, afternoons that need a reset, or evenings where you’d like the space to breathe with you.

40-hour burn time. Vessel color may vary — small-batch life, consistent freshness.

Leather, Smoke, Whiskey, Vetiver & Vanilla

A scent that walks in before you do: pressed leather, rising smoke, warm whiskey, vetiver, and a whisper of vanilla. Last Call for Leather is a full-body exhale into midnight impulse — heady, lingering, impossible to refuse. Burn it when you want your space to feel like a private, low-lit lounge where every choice feels intentional and a little indulgent. A final drink, a final glance, a final “why not.”

40-hour burn time. Vessel color may vary — we’re refining our sourcing, but the swagger stays consistent.
