Short answer: The evil eye (nazar) is a protective symbol believed to ward off envy and negative energy directed at you, consciously or not. It shows up as jewelry, wall art, and — increasingly — home fragrance, because lighting a protective symbol in your space feels a lot more intentional than just buying a candle.
The evil eye belief spans Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian cultures for thousands of years. In India, it's called nazar — the idea that an admiring or envious glance can unintentionally carry negative energy onto a person, home, or new success. The blue-eye talisman (and rituals like burning lemon-chili or camphor) exist to reflect that energy back before it settles.
