Our 2 oz candles are designed to burn for 10+ hours, 4 oz will burn for 18+ hours, 18 oz for 75 hours and 24 oz for 90 hours when properly cared for. The combination of our high-quality raw materials, blend of soy and coconut wax, and our crackle wood wicks ensure that our candles will perform for an extended period of time.
Candle Care
On your first burn, allow the entire surface of wax to melt (2-3 hours). Limit each burn to a max of 4 hours and make sure your candle is lit in a safe place. Between burns, trim your candle wick to 1/4" before lighting. This will help maximize burn time. For your safety, keep your wax free of debris. Never leave your candle unattended and do not place the lid on your candle when lit.

Clarity • Communication • Reflection
When life feels noisy, create space for clarity.
Mercury Retrograde has earned a reputation for miscommunication, delays, technology glitches, and unexpected detours. But what if, instead of fearing it, you embraced it as an invitation to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself?
Our Mercury Retrograde Aromatherapy Candle was intentionally created to help transform moments of uncertainty into opportunities for clarity, mindfulness, and personal growth.
Handcrafted with pure essential oils and a clean-burning natural wax blend, this luxurious candle fills your space with a fresh, sophisticated aroma that is both calming and mentally uplifting. Whether you're journaling, meditating, preparing for an important conversation, or simply unwinding after a busy day, this candle creates the perfect atmosphere to pause, breathe, and realign.
Because clarity is something we all need—not just during Mercury Retrograde.
