Know before you buy
This candle features a warm, spicy profile centered on Benzoin resin. It balances the deep, mystical qualities of incense and myrrh with subtle undertones of vanilla and sandalwood for an enveloping, sophisticated aroma.
The 190g candle provides over 50 hours of burn time. To maximize this, ensure you trim the wick to about a quarter-inch before each use and allow the wax pool to reach the edges of the glass to prevent tunneling.
While the fragrance is rich and atmospheric, it is designed to be elegant rather than aggressive. It works well in living areas or bedrooms, though you may want to burn it for shorter intervals in very small, enclosed spaces to manage the scent throw.
The Benjoin candle is intentionally unisex. Its blend of resinous, spicy, and woody notes makes it a versatile choice that appeals to anyone who enjoys warm, grounding home fragrances.
Yes, the high-quality glass vessel is designed to be repurposed. Once the wax is completely gone, you can clean out the remaining residue with warm, soapy water to use the jar for storage or as a decorative accent.
