Know before you buy
This fragrance is a complex blend of woody, citrus, and herbal notes. You will primarily detect a grounding base of sandalwood and vanilla, balanced by the calming influence of lavender and a bright citrus top note.
To ensure a clean, steady flame and prevent soot buildup, always trim your wicks to 1/4 inch before every lighting. This simple step helps the candle burn more evenly and extends the life of the wax.
Yes, the hand-blown glass vessel is designed for a second life. Once the wax is gone, you can clean out the remaining residue and repurpose the container as a decorative vase, a pen holder, or a small storage jar.
The three-hour limit is recommended to prevent the glass vessel from overheating and to maintain the integrity of the fragrance oils. Burning for longer periods can cause the wax to pool too deeply, which may affect the performance of the dual wicks.
These candles use a premium, cosmetic-grade formula that is designed for a cleaner, more consistent burn. By utilizing natural essential oils rather than synthetic alternatives, the candle provides a more authentic and nuanced scent throw.
