Know before you buy
Not at all. The ghost pepper note is used to add a piquant, earthy edge to the fragrance rather than a literal heat. It balances the sweetness of the vanilla and tonka bean, resulting in a warm, sophisticated scent profile.
To prevent soot and ensure an even burn, always trim the cotton wick to 1/4 inch before each lighting. Additionally, let the candle burn long enough for the wax pool to reach the edges of the jar during the first use to avoid tunneling.
Yes, this candle is made with domestically grown soy wax and fine fragrance oils. It is also phthalate-free, making it a cleaner-burning option for your home.
Absolutely. Once the wax is gone, you can clean out the remaining residue with warm, soapy water. The apothecary-style jar and brass lid make for a great storage container for small items like makeup brushes, pens, or succulents.
This candle is best suited for small to medium-sized rooms, such as a bedroom, home office, or bathroom. For larger open-concept living areas, you may find the scent throw more subtle.
