Know before you buy
The scent is designed to be clean and subtle rather than overpowering. It features crisp, briny notes of sea salt balanced by the smooth, earthy richness of olive oil, making it ideal for dining environments where you don't want a heavy fragrance to compete with food.
Yes, the tin is a decorative vessel. Once the soy wax is fully consumed, you can clean out any remaining residue with warm, soapy water and repurpose the tin as a small storage container for trinkets or desk supplies.
This candle uses hand-poured soy wax, which is known for a cleaner, slower burn. It produces significantly less soot than paraffin, helping to keep your surfaces and the air in your dining area cleaner.
While it serves as a striking centerpiece, it is a functional candle designed for regular use. To get the best performance, ensure you trim the wick before each light and allow the wax pool to reach the edges of the tin during the first burn to prevent tunneling.
The fragrance is curated to be light and atmospheric. Because it mimics the clean, savory notes of sea salt and olive oil, it is intended to complement a dinner setting rather than mask the aroma of your meal.
