Know before you buy
This candle features a sandalwood-forward profile that balances earthy, natural notes with the clean, classic scent of a traditional barbershop. It is designed to be grounding and welcoming rather than overly sweet or floral.
To maximize the burn time and prevent soot, always trim the cotton wick to about 1/4 inch before each use. Additionally, ensure the wax melts to the edges of the container during the first burn to prevent tunneling.
The Musk candle offers a balanced scent throw that is noticeable without being overpowering. It is well-suited for living rooms, bedrooms, or home offices where you want a consistent, pleasant atmosphere.
Otter Wax uses 100% natural soy wax, which is a cleaner-burning alternative to paraffin. The candle is hand-poured in small batches in Portland, Oregon, focusing on high-quality, natural materials.
Beyond regular trimming, the cotton wick is designed for a clean, steady burn. If you notice the flame becoming too high or flickering excessively, extinguish the candle, let it cool, trim the wick, and relight.
