Know before you buy

Yes, the ceramic vessel is designed to be upcycled. Once the wax is gone, you can clean it out and use it as a decorative container or small planter.
The engraved wooden lid serves two purposes: it keeps dust out of the candle when not in use and is designed to double as a coaster to protect your surfaces while the candle is burning.
You can expect approximately 25 hours of burn time from this candle when used according to standard candle care instructions.
It is a complex floral scent that balances top notes of violet, ylang, and pepper with a heart of rose, mimosa, and sweet pea, all anchored by a base of precious woods, chamomile, and orchid.
The candle stands 3.7 inches high with a diameter of 3.9 inches, making it a compact size suitable for coffee tables, nightstands, or mantels.
