Dia de los Muertos

A Celebration of Memory

Join us at The Lost Wax Company for a special Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) open house celebrating those who live on in our memories.

On November 1, our shop will be filled with marigolds, candlelight, fragrance, and remembrance as we explore one of the ideas at the very heart of Lost Wax: the extraordinary power of scent to unlock memories of people, places, and moments we thought we had forgotten.

Guests are invited to contribute to our community ofrenda (altar of remembrance) by bringing a small photograph or adding the name of someone they would like to remember. Visit our A Scent to Remember station and discover what memories are awakened by familiar fragrances, enjoy seasonal refreshments, and take a little time to share a story—or simply remember one.

Come and go throughout the event, add a memory to our ofrenda, explore the shop, and help us create a beautiful celebration of the people and stories we carry with us.

Aroma Clavis Memoriæ — Scent is the key to memory.
