Know before you buy
The grapefruit and mint blend is designed to be bright and refreshing. While it is potent enough to scent a hotel room or small living space, it is not intended to overpower a large, open-concept area.
Yes, the candle comes in a sturdy tin with a matching lid. It is designed specifically for travel, so it should stay securely closed in your luggage.
The tin can become warm to the touch during use. We recommend placing it on a heat-resistant surface and allowing it to cool completely before packing it away after a burn.
To maximize burn time, keep the wick trimmed to about 1/4 inch before each use. Additionally, try to burn the candle long enough for the wax pool to reach the edges of the tin to prevent tunneling.
Absolutely. Once the candle has finished, you can clean out the remaining wax with warm, soapy water. The 4 oz tin is a great size for storing small jewelry, hair ties, or other travel essentials.
