Know before you buy
It is a complex, layered fragrance rather than a simple citrus scent. It opens with bright Meyer Lemon and Green Olive Leaves, transitions into a heart of Black Fig, and settles into a warm, earthy base of Poplar Wood and Tonka Bean.
Yes, the vessel is made of high-quality hand-painted ceramic. Once the wax is gone, you can clean out the remaining residue and repurpose the jar as a decorative storage piece or a small planter.
Because each piece is hand-painted, there will be slight variations in the 'Snake' design. This makes every candle unique, though they all maintain the same aesthetic style within the A Dopo collection.
This is an 8 oz candle housed in a ceramic vessel. While burn time depends on environmental factors like drafts and wick trimming, an 8 oz candle of this type typically provides approximately 40 to 50 hours of burn time.
No, the matches are sold separately. However, the collection is designed to pair with coordinating matches if you are looking for a complete set for gifting or display.
