Know before you buy
It is a sophisticated, woody fragrance that balances refreshing notes with warmth. You will detect a blend of black pepper, galbanum, and cinnamon wood, grounded by cedar and nutmeg for a deep, earthy finish.
The four-wick design is essential for a candle of this size. It ensures the wax melts evenly across the entire surface, preventing tunneling and maximizing the fragrance throw in larger rooms.
Yes, the hand-blown glass is designed to be a decorative object. Once the wax is fully consumed, you can clean out the remaining residue to repurpose the vessel as a vase or a statement storage piece.
The MAX 10 stands at 3.9 inches with a 60-hour burn time, making it ideal for smaller surfaces. The MAX 16 is a larger, 6.3-inch statement piece that offers a significantly longer burn time of 150 hours.
Because each container is hand-blown by artisans, there will be slight variations in the color transition and pattern. This makes every candle a unique piece of functional art.
