Know before you buy
It is a complex, grounding scent that balances earthy and sweet notes. You will primarily notice the warmth of leather and smoked vanilla, cut through by the sharpness of rhubarb and golden saffron.
The Dropout offers up to 50 hours of burn time when used properly. To maximize this, ensure you trim the cotton wick to about a quarter-inch before each use.
While the scent is bold and rebellious, it is designed to be warm and grounding rather than aggressive. It provides a noticeable presence that fills a room without becoming cloying or overwhelming.
This candle is crafted using an American soy wax blend. This choice helps ensure a cleaner, more consistent burn compared to traditional paraffin waxes.
No, the hemp leaf note contributes to the overall green and earthy depth of the fragrance rather than a literal cannabis scent. It functions as a grounding element that complements the leather and vanilla.
