Candle - Conifers and Fig

A candle that evokes a dense forest, with a gourmet touch: lemon zest and cypress at the top, cedar and fig at the heart, clove at the base. The cypress and cedar provide a resinous scent, the fig softens it, and the clove adds a spicy warmth.

Moodgie hand pours it in her workshop in Montreal. She combines premium soy wax and a braided cotton wick, in a reusable and recyclable amber glass jar. Moodgie rates its olfactory intensity, woody and gourmet, at 4 out of 5.

Format: 110 g (approximately 25 hours of burn time) or 220 g (approximately 50 hours).

Materials: soy wax, fine fragrances, braided cotton wick, amber glass jar.

Instructions: on the first lighting, let the candle burn until the melted wax reaches the edge of the jar, about 3 to 4 hours. It will then burn evenly.

Care: trim the wick to 6 mm (1/4 inch) before each lighting. If the flame becomes too high, extinguish it, let the wax solidify, trim the wick, then relight. Stop using when there is about 1 cm of wax left at the bottom. To reuse the jar, rinse it with hot water, then wash it with mild soap.

Precautions: never leave a lit candle unattended or for more than 4 hours at a time. Keep it away from flammable objects, children, and pets.

Origin: hand poured in Montreal.
