Know before you buy
This candle uses natural citronella derived from lemongrass to mask the scents that typically attract insects. While it is a pleasant, effective alternative to harsh chemical sprays, its performance is best suited for localized outdoor areas like patios or decks.
Yes, the triple-wick configuration ensures an even melt pool across the entire surface of the soy wax. This prevents tunneling and maximizes the fragrance throw, allowing the scent to disperse more effectively in open-air environments.
Yes, the candle is made with an exclusive soy base, which is known for a cleaner, slower burn compared to traditional paraffin waxes. This results in less soot and a longer overall lifespan for the candle.
While the lid is designed to protect the wax from debris and dust when not in use, it is best to use a proper candle snuffer or gently blow out the flames to avoid charring the wood. Always ensure the candle is completely cool before placing the lid back on.
The candle measures 4 3/4 inches in diameter and 3 1/2 inches in height. Its wide, low-profile matte white vessel is designed to be stable on outdoor surfaces like dining tables or side tables.
To maintain a clean burn, trim all three wicks to about 1/4 inch before each use. This prevents the flames from becoming too large, which can cause excess smoke and shorten the candle's total burn time.
