The warm one. Resinous amber and a little clove, settling into a smoked vanilla that is dry rather than sweet — closer to the inside of a cabinet of spices than to a bakery.
The amber-tinted frosted glass throws a warm light even before the wax is fully melted. It is the strongest of the six scents, so a single candle is plenty for a medium room.
8 oz of soy and coconut wax on a single cotton wick, for about 50 hours of burning.

- Weight
- 8 oz net wax · about 1 lb 3 oz with glass and lid

- Scent notes
- Top: clove, orange peel · Heart: amber resin, labdanum · Base: smoked vanilla, tonka
- Finish & variation
- Creamy off-white wax. Soy wax frosts — a white, crystalline bloom on the top and against the glass — and may show wet spots where the wax has pulled slightly away from the glass as it cooled. The top can set a little uneven. All three are natural to a hand-poured soy blend, vary jar to jar, and do not change how the candle burns. The tint and frosting of the glass also vary slightly between batches.
- Made
- Hand-poured in small batches in Port Charlotte, Florida.
Care & burning
- First burn: let the wax melt all the way to the edge before you put it out — usually 2 to 3 hours for this size. A short first burn leaves a tunnel down the middle that the candle never recovers from.
- Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before every burn. A long wick smokes, flickers and blackens the vessel.
- Burn for no more than 4 hours at a time, then let the candle cool completely before relighting.
- Put the flame out with a snuffer, or dip the wick into the melted wax and straighten it — less smoke than blowing, and the wick stays centred.
- Keep the wax pool clear of match ends and wick trimmings; debris in the pool can flare.
Safety & cautions
- Never leave a burning candle unattended, and never burn one while you sleep.
- Keep away from drafts, curtains, shelves overhead and anything that can catch. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Burn on a stable, heat-resistant surface. The vessel gets hot — do not move it while it is lit or while the wax is liquid.
- Stop burning when 1/2 inch of wax remains. Below that the base of the vessel can overheat and crack, or scorch what it is standing on.
- Never use water to put out a candle. Do not put the lid on while it is still burning.
- If the flame flickers, smokes or stands taller than about 1 inch, put it out, let it cool, trim the wick and relight.
