Know before you buy
It is a balanced, complex blend that leans into woody and herbal notes. You will primarily notice the earthiness of oakmoss and sage, softened by a warm amber base and a subtle, bright hint of orange.
The wood wick provides a gentle, audible crackling sound as it burns, similar to a miniature fireplace. It also tends to create a wider melt pool, which helps release the fragrance more effectively throughout your space.
Yes, this candle is made with all-natural soy wax. Soy wax is known for burning cleaner and slower than paraffin alternatives, resulting in less soot and a longer overall lifespan for the candle.
No, this specific 8.5 oz candle does not include a lid. We recommend placing it in a spot away from drafts to ensure an even burn.
To keep the wick burning properly, trim the charred wood bits off the top before each lighting. Keeping the wick at about 1/8 to 1/4 inch long ensures a steady, consistent flame and prevents excessive smoke.
