Know before you buy
While this candle is specifically designed for outdoor use to help deter insects, it can be burned indoors. However, because it contains citronella oil, the scent is much stronger and more functional than a standard decorative candle.
The candle is infused with natural citronella oil, which is a well-known botanical deterrent for insects. While it creates a more pleasant environment for outdoor dining or lounging, its effectiveness can vary based on wind conditions and the size of your space.
No, the soy wax blend is formulated for a clean, consistent burn. To ensure minimal soot, always trim your wick to about 1/4 inch before each lighting.
It is a bright, herbaceous fragrance that balances the sharp, zesty notes of citrus with the earthy, green scent of fresh basil. It avoids the medicinal smell often associated with traditional citronella candles.
With proper care, such as keeping the wick trimmed and avoiding drafts, this 8 oz. candle provides up to 50 hours of burn time.
