Meadow Bloom, an eau de parfum, is inspired by the natural beauty of the San Francisco Bay area where founder, Itika Oldwine-Grimble grew up. The fine fragrance features freesia, water and vanilla orchid and retails for $230 (100 ml.). 

The brand has also launched two 8 oz candles: Find Your Zen and Bridal Bouquet.

The notes have yet to be announced for the Find Your Zen candle, but it is described to help "light a path of liberation and freedom as you seek to find your own true purpose." 

Bridal Bouquet is described as a romantic garden party featuring the dewy tropical sweetness of gardenia, the love blossom of violet and lily of the valley.
