Meet the 'It' Candle of NYC Restaurant Bathrooms
"It's in the bathroom at Smithereens, and it's in rotation at Cervo's, Eel Bar, Hart's, and the Fly. It's at June Wine Bar and Rhodora. I knew Schmuck smelled familiar - and then, yep, there it was. I swear I've sniffed it at Tatiana, though my email asking for confirmation went unanswered. An Eater colleague clocked it at Elsa, and immediately bought one of her own (and then received another as a Christmas gift)."
"Nick Tamburo of Smithereens and Moe Aljaff of Schmuck wanted Wood Cabin after smelling it at other restaurants. For Aljaff, that was, specifically, Cervo's, he said in an email: "I remember walking into their bathroom and thinking it smelled unusually good, which is not a thought you normally have in a restaurant bathroom." With notes of cedar, palo santo, and fireside embers, it offers a "romantic, transportive quality" that pairs well the "the small, cloistered, and intimate rooms" of his subterranean restaurant, according to Tamburo."
Keap's Wood Cabin candle appears in numerous New York City restaurants, including Smithereens, Cervo's, Eel Bar, Hart's, the Fly, June Wine Bar, and Rhodora. Launched in 2015, Wood Cabin is Keap's most popular scent. The fragrance blends cedar, palo santo, and fireside embers to produce a woody, cozy aroma. Restaurateurs favor the candle for being sophisticated without overwhelming and for enhancing small, intimate spaces. Keap began as a Brooklyn-founded brand and is now based in Kingston in the Hudson Valley. Hospitality clients adopted the product organically after encountering it in venues.
