Know before you buy
This is a gourmand scent that leans heavily into sweet, bakery-inspired notes. You will primarily detect vanilla cake and frosting, balanced by buttery undertones and a hint of citrus and cocoa to keep it from being overly sugary.
The 13.75 oz candle offers an estimated burn time of 60 to 80 hours. To maximize this lifespan, ensure you trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each use and allow the wax pool to reach the edges of the glass during the first burn.
No, the Homesick Birthday Party 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.
While the fragrance is designed to create a festive atmosphere, its gourmand profile is generally warm rather than sharp. If you are sensitive to strong scents, start by burning it for an hour or two in a well-ventilated space to gauge how the fragrance fills your specific room size.
This candle belongs to the gourmand or sweet scent family. It is specifically formulated to evoke the nostalgic, edible aromas of a birthday celebration, making it a great choice for those who prefer cozy, dessert-like fragrances.
