The idea

A coal that will not go out.

The Ember's crackled cap lights from within like a banked fire — a low, warm glow that doubles as a night light while a fine mist carries your oil through a bedroom, an office corner, or a hotel room that smells like a hotel room. USB-powered, so it runs from a laptop, a plug, or the car.

Banked-Fire Glow

The crackled cap glows a warm ember orange — enough to find the door by, never enough to keep you up.

Quieter Than A Library

About 41 decibels at work — softer than a turning page, made for the bedside.

Goes Where Work Goes

USB power and a palm-sized footprint. Desk by day, nightstand by night, carry-on in between.

The Ember on a nightstand
At the bedside

The last light in the room.

A few drops of sandalwood, one press, and the Ember glows on the nightstand like the end of a good fire. It mists the room to sleep and shuts itself off without being asked.

The Ritual

Three small steps

01

Fill

Water to the line — a small vessel for small rooms.

02

Drop

Two or three drops of oil. It is a modest machine; it drinks modestly.

03

Press

One press for mist and glow. It handles the rest, including switching itself off.

The Ember is deliberately the small one — made for a bedside, a reading corner, or a carry-on, not a great hall. For the whole study, look one step up the ladder.

What's in the box+
The Ember in your chosen finish, a USB cable, and a quick-start card. It runs from any USB port, plug adapter, or car socket.
Care & cleaning+
Rinse the vessel weekly and let it dry open. The crackled cap wipes clean with a dry cloth.
Travel notes+
Empty it before it flies. TSA has no quarrel with an empty Ember, and the 100ml Scent Library bottles sit right at the carry-on limit.

Questions

Before you order

How long does a fill last?+

A night's sleep on gentle mist. It shuts off on its own when the water runs out.

Can I power it from a laptop?+

Yes — any USB port, wall adapter, power bank, or car socket.

Can I use it in the car?+

Yes. Secure it in a cup holder, keep fills modest, and empty it before hard driving.

Which finish should I choose?+

Charcoal for the desk, Parchment for the bedroom — though the glow is the same warm ember in both.

Is this the right first Hartwynd?+

It is the easiest beginning. If your room is larger than a bedroom, start one rung up with the Hearth or Wellspring.

Complete the study

One rung up the ladder

When the Ember wins you over, the Hearth brings the same evening comfort to the whole room — flame, timer, and remote included.
