Product Insights
The Cedar & Siberian Pine Scented Candle by Moodgie offers a complex fragrance pyramid of Siberian pine, cypress, cedar, balsam fir, moss, and amber, with a 5/5 intensity that diffuses continuously during burn and lingers after extinguishing. Made from 100% natural soy wax with a cotton wick, it burns cleanly with minimal soot. However, achieving the rated 50-hour burn time and optimal scent throw demands careful adherence to usage instructions—trimming the wick to ¼ inch, an initial 3–4 hour burn to create a full melt pool, and stopping when ½ inch of wax remains to avoid jar overheating.
- Fragrance pyramid
Top notes of Siberian pine and cypress, heart of cedar and balsam fir, base of moss and amber.
Why this is supported
This candle follows a classic three-tier perfumery pyramid:
- Top: Siberian pine, cypress - Heart: Cedar, balsam fir - Base: Moss, amber
moodgie.ca. The Siberian pine top note is characterized as
Fresh and dry green conifer note with woody, earthy and resinous undertones.
givaudan.com. In the heart, balsam fir brings

ground the fragrance in a natural, soothing warmth

- Scent diffusion and longevity
Scent diffuses continuously during burn and lingers after extinguishing.
Why this is supported
Soy wax diffuses fragrances gently and continuously:

- Material
100% natural soy wax, no paraffin, burns cleanly with minimal soot.
Why this is supported
The merchant states the candle is
made from 100% natural soy wax
moodgie.ca. Soy wax is a renewable, biodegradable material because it is
derived from soybean oil
bigbearcandles.com. This natural composition results in a clean burn:
burn more slowly, more evenly, and with very little residue.
moodgie.ca. Additionally, the wax's natural frosting is

thescentedvale.com, confirming the absence of synthetic additives. Together, these points verify that the candle uses pure soy wax with minimal environmental impact and no paraffin.
Moodgie states that
Yes, the fragrance oils are phthalate-free and paraben-free.
Are the fragrance oils phthalate-free and paraben-free?. These oils allow precise note replication across the pyramid.
Soy wax diffuses fragrances more gently and continuously.
moodgie.caThe brand also confirms in a Q&A that the fine fragrance oils are synthetic, chosen for safety, performance, and longevity. This combination allows the scent to remain balanced and present over the entire 50-hour burn time.
- Burn time
Low melting point soy wax burns slower, delivering the rated 50-hour burn time.
Why this is supported
The low melting point of soy wax is key to its burn duration:
Soy wax has a lower melting point than many other waxes, which means it burns slower and lasts longer.
bigbearcandles.comThe braided cotton wick
ensures a steady and even burn
moodgie.ca. To achieve the full 50-hour lifespan, the first burn must establish a full melt pool, as
Establishing a full melt pool on the initial burn prevents candle tunneling by setting an even “memory ring” in the wax for all future burns.
therealmaxwellthomas.com. Additionally,
Trimming to ¼ inch before each burn is the most reliable way for consumers to get the rated burn time from your candle.
makercalculators.com. So with proper user practices, the candle delivers its rated 50-hour burn time.
- Scent throw
Continuous balanced scent release from top to base notes, rated 5/5 intensity.
Why this is supported
Soy wax's scent performance is verified by the brand's statement:
Soy wax diffuses fragrances more gently and continuously. Ideal for fine fragrances, it allows for a more balanced scent throw.
moodgie.caThis is paired with the intensity rating:
Scent intensity: ●●●●● (Forest & invigorating)
moodgie.ca. So the candle offers both linearity and strength throughout its burn.
- Usage
Achieving 50 hours requires trimming the wick to ¼ inch and a 3-4 hour initial burn.
Why this is supported
Manufacturer guidance stresses that
Trimming to ¼ inch before each burn is the most reliable way for consumers to get the rated burn time from your candle.
makercalculators.comAdditionally, skipping the initial 3-4 hour burn that creates a full melt pool can cause tunneling that wastes up to half the wax.
- Jar safety
Stop burning when ½ inch of wax remains to prevent jar overheating.
Why this is supported
To prevent the glass jar from overheating, the candle should be extinguished at a certain wax depth:
Discontinue when ½″ (1 cm) of wax remains.
greenspotbrandon.caThis also leaves residue that is easier to clean for jar reuse.
- Jar reuse
Freeze or hot water bath and baking soda prepare the jar for reuse
Why this is supported
This method takes longer (waiting for the freeze) but has zero risk of cracking the glass
wickofhope.comA water bath is the simplest method to clean and reuse candle jars, and it works best for candles made of soy wax due to its low melting point.
lifenreflection.comFor lingering scent, sprinkle a little baking soda inside the jar and gently scrub — this helps neutralize fragrance naturally.
alenas.caDiscontinue when ½″ (1 cm) of wax remains.
greenspotbrandon.ca- Intensity
5/5 scent intensity via high fragrance load and synthetic oils, still clean.
Why this is supported
Moodgie rates this candle at five out of five dots for scent intensity.
Scent intensity: ●●●●● (Forest & invigorating)
moodgie.caThis is an outlier for soy wax, which typically has a softer hot throw.
Because soy burns at a lower temperature, it can sometimes produce a softer hot throw
thescentedvale.comThe brand achieves this by pairing a high fragrance load with a braided cotton wick and synthetic fragrance oils.
braided cotton wick ensures a steady and even burn
moodgie.caThe fragrance oils are synthetic, not essential oils, for performance.
Moodgie does not use essential oils in this candle. The fragrance is created from fine fragrance oils (synthetic) designed for safety, performance, and longevity
Does this candle use essential oils, synthetic fragrances, or a blend?Despite the high fragrance load, the oils are phthalate-free and paraben-free, and the soy-wick combination burns cleanly with minimal residue.
Yes, the fragrance oils are phthalate-free and paraben-free.
Are the fragrance oils phthalate-free and paraben-free?Soy candles, on the other hand, burn more slowly, more evenly, and with very little residue. They offer a clean burn that respects the air you breathe.
moodgie.caAs a result, the candle easily fills a medium-sized room.
It should easily fill a medium-sized room, based on that rating.
What is the scent throw like? Does it strongly fill a medium-sized room or is it more subtle?- Burn care
3-4 hour first burn and 1/4 inch wick trimming for full intensity.
Why this is supported
To achieve the full 5/5 scent intensity, the first burn must last until the melted wax reaches the jar rim, about 3–4 hours.
Burn until the melted wax reaches the rim on first use (about 3–4 hours).
greenspotbrandon.caThis establishes a full melt pool and prevents tunneling, which would reduce fragrance release.
Burn for 3–4 hours. This is the interval used by CandleScience and most professional makers because it’s long enough to establish a full melt pool and a stable burn rate, but short enough to complete in a single session.
makercalculators.comBefore each subsequent burn, the cotton wick must be trimmed to 1/4 inch.
Trim wick to ¼″ (cotton) or ⅛″ (wood) before each use.
greenspotbrandon.caWithout trimming, the flame grows too large, sooting the wax and reducing throw.
Trimming to ¼ inch before each burn is the most reliable way for consumers to get the rated burn time from your candle.

Trimmed braided cotton wick and 3-4 hour first burn prevent tunneling.
Why this is supported
The braided cotton wick is specifically chosen for soy wax to maintain a clean, even burn.
Cotton or wood wicks work well with soy wax to maintain a clean burn.

5/5 scent intensity with continuous diffusion and minimal soot.
Why this is supported
Moodgie rates the scent intensity at the maximum 5 out of 5 dots, described as 'Forest & invigorating'. This strong impression is echoed by user feedback. Soy wax diffuses fragrances gently and continuously, preserving the top notes throughout the burn. Additionally, soy candles produce less soot and smoke, improving indoor air quality.

moodgie.ca- Burn practice
Continuous scent throw requires a full melt pool on first burn and a ¼-inch trimmed wick.
Why this is supported
The continuous scent throw is conditional on proper burn practices. The first burn must create a full melt pool to the rim—
Burn until the melted wax reaches the rim on first use (about 3–4 hours).
greenspotbrandon.ca—and the wick must be trimmed to ¼ inch before each use:
Trim wick to ¼″ (cotton) or ⅛″ (wood) before each use.
greenspotbrandon.caNeglecting these steps can cause tunneling, which traps wax and breaks the linear scent release.
