THE CANDLES
We are exclusively online and local to Indianapolis right now. The best way to test our scents is to try one of our candle discovery kits.
We’ve found that wooden wick candles have a better scent throw when burning. It’s likely because the candle’s wick burns lower and smolders. This helps warm the wax around the wick instead of just burning it off quickly with a tall flame that is more likely to happen with a cotton wick candle. Wooden wicks create a horizontal flame that throws more heat into your candle quicker, so even though it burns slower and lower, a wooden wick candle will heat up your fragrances and creates a scent throw into your room in less time.
Wooden wicks have more transparency and options for sustainability. Our wooden wicks are supplied by a partner who sources from FSC-certified Mills. FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council and they are an independent, non-profit organization that protects forests for future generations. Because FSC is the gold standard in forest certification, it is the only system supported by groups such as WWF, Sierra Club, Greenpeace, Natural Resources Defense Council and National Wildlife Federation.
Each wicks and wick clip is 100% manufactured in the U.S.A.
A portion of proceeds goes to re-planting trees through Trees for the Future.
