Know before you buy

Yes, the vessel is made from thick, hand-blown recycled glass. Because it is artisan-crafted, each piece has a unique bubble glass texture that makes it a durable and decorative choice for holding small items like succulents, makeup brushes, or desk supplies once the wax is gone.
This candle is categorized as having a strong fragrance intensity. It is designed to fill a standard-sized room effectively, making it a great choice if you prefer a noticeable scent profile.
No, the La Playa candle does not include a lid. You will want to place it in a spot where it won't collect dust when not in use.
