Know before you buy
This fragrance balances bright, zesty bitter orange with the grounding, smoky depth of charred oak and earthy patchouli. It is a sophisticated, woody citrus scent that feels warm rather than overly sweet or sharp.
To maintain an even burn and prevent soot, trim both wicks to about 1/4 inch before every lighting. Additionally, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the jar during the first use to prevent tunneling.
Yes, Sydney Hale uses a premium soy wax blend designed for a clean, consistent burn. Soy wax is known for producing less soot than traditional paraffin waxes when burned properly.
No, this specific candle does not include a lid. You may want to keep it in a dust-free area when not in use to maintain the integrity of the wax surface.
Sydney Hale Company donates 10% of their profits to dog rescue organizations. By purchasing this candle, you are directly contributing to their ongoing support of animal welfare initiatives.
