Care instructions~
When lighting a wood wick candle the first time, leave lit for 2-3 hours so it creates a good melt pool. After that, just make sure to give your candles a nice long burn every so often to “reset” the wax memory and prevent any tunneling. This will keep your candle looking great, smelling great, and most importantly, burning evenly.

If you have trouble lighting your candle, trim the burnt black off the wood wick with clippers, but keep it at least 1/8" long. If the candle won't stay lit because of tunneling and it's drowning in the wax, use a paper towel to soak up some of the wax around the wick so it has room to breathe again, then once it's lit, leave it for a couple of hours to help the melt pool reach the edges again so it doesn't tunnel further.

Wood wicks are a bit more temperamental, but are so worth it for the crackle, sustainability, and clean burn, and are healthier because they make less soot and won't add additional smoke to your room.* Scent Throw:
These candles are made from natural soy/coconut wax and more naturally derived oil scents, so the scent throw will be less intense than cheaper paraffin wax candles and synthetic fragrances that most people are used to. The scent throw will not fill the room with synthetic fragrance, so if you suffer from frequent headaches, allergies, or scent sensitivities, you will appreciate using more natural candles.🖤

🎃 NOW SHIPPING TO CANADA, EUROPE, JAPAN & SOUTH KOREA!
Instead of glass jars, all internationally shipped candles will be in tin containers instead. I've found that packages going overseas can be tossed around quite a bit... this is the best way to ensure your candle doesn't arrive broken.

This candles smells so good. It is more of a masculine smell. The coffee smell is more of an undertone. The mix of her scents are so balanced. She really is an artist. She also said that the throw is not that strong but I think it does a great job of filling my medium sized room. If a larger room I would do two candles.

This scent is so cozy and comforting it is like slipping under a warm blanket in the chill evening. Soft natural scent that lingers in the room after I’ve put it out. They are lovingly made and the best quality candle I’ve had. Arrived well packaged and on time. Highly recommend.
