Cannabis Scented Candle
MALIN+GOETZ Cannabis Scented Candle is a 255 g (9 oz.) scented candle featuring a vegetable wax blend, cotton wick, and glass container. It is used to add a herbaceous, woody, and fresh fragrance to living spaces, with top notes of bergamot, black pepper, and orange, heart notes of cannabis, lily of the valley, and magnolia, and base notes of cedarwood, patchouli, sandalwood, amber, and musk. Reddit reviews generally praise its earthy, pleasant scent and strong throw, but note it is not a true-to-plant cannabis fragrance and is similar to Maison Louis Marie Aboukir.

Product Insights
MALIN+GOETZ's Cannabis Scented Candle refines cannabis into a sophisticated three-act fragrance—citrus top, floral-cannabis heart, woody base—using a terpene accord that avoids skunky sulfur compounds, appealing as an unisex, luxurious city wellness ritual from a New York apothecary. Its glass vessel is designed to be cleaned and reused as a drinking glass, but achieving that requires careful burn care (first burn 2-3 hours, trim wick, no more than 3-hour burns). Priced at 95 CAD for 9 oz, it undercuts Lobonosara per ounce, and older shattering issues have been resolved. Buyers confirm the non-skunky scent, and the brand's best-selling candle is acclaimed in Herb and Reddit as a luxury cult item.

Love for cannabis scent despite old shattering incident
I had this same candle in cannabis about 4-5 years back. Funny thing is the candle actually shattered mid burn and essentially exploded. Sent pics and an email to the company and they sent me a GC for the value of the candle, a ton of free products, a candle sample set and immediately pulled all the large sized candles from their site for a WHILEEEEE. Glad to see they finally have them back on the site. Really hoping they got the burn issues with the big ones figured out as I really love the cannabis scent. Sounded like a gunshot went off when it shattered. The glass is so thick I was surprised it could shatter that quickly.
