Product Insights
Simons' Cotton Scented Candle uses a three-note accord of mandarin, violet leaf, and water jasmine to evoke sun-dried laundry, with soy wax that burns cooler and cleaner than paraffin, reducing soot and preserving scent. Natural frosting confirms pure soy wax; a self-trimming, lead-free cotton wick ensures stable, soot-free burning. The 60-hour burn time demands the first burn melt the full surface, with ongoing care: wick trimming and three-hour sessions. Designer Ruby Brown created this full-circle collaboration.

Deep Research
How soy wax affects burn time and scent throw
- Soy wax produces little to no black soot, keeping the glass vessel and surrounding surfaces clean — a practical advantage for a candle meant to conjure the freshness of sun-dried laundry.
- Soy wax burns cooler than paraffin, creating a lower-temperature melt pool that gradually releases the aquatic bouquet — keeping the mandarin and water jasmine notes fresh and airy rather than scorching them.
- A 10 oz soy candle typically burns for 50–60 hours under ideal conditions, placing this candle’s ‘up to 60 hours’ claim at the top of that range — a direct result of soy wax’s slower, denser burn compared to paraffin.
- Allowing the entire top layer of wax to melt to the container edge on the first burn prevents tunneling, which can cost up to a third of a soy candle’s potential burn hours; trimming the cotton wick to ¼ inch before each subsequent burn then maintains an even flame and maximizes the 60-hour lifespan.
- A cloudy white bloom, called frosting, can appear on pure soy wax; it is a natural aesthetic characteristic — not a defect — that confirms the wax hasn’t been adulterated with additives, and it has no effect on burn quality or fragrance strength.
Why cotton wicks matter for a clean burn
- Unlike wooden wicks that often require char removal before relighting, a cotton wick ignites in seconds and is more forgiving if the user skips trimming — making this candle more convenient for short, daily burns where you want scent without a ritual.
- Cotton wicks are the recommended match for soy wax in luxury candle manufacturing because their braided capillary action delivers a steady melt pool at the wax's moderate temperature, preventing tunneling and ensuring the full fragrance load diffuses evenly over the 10 oz fill.
- In typical room conditions, a cotton wick is more resistant to flickering and leaning from drafts than a wooden wick, so the candle maintains an even burn and consistent scent output even if placed near a doorway or window.
- Well-engineered cotton wicks are braided to curl slightly as they burn, which naturally trims the tip and reduces carbon mushrooming — so the candle stays soot-free with less frequent wick trimming, preserving the clean jar appearance through all 60 hours.
- Because the U.S. banned lead-cored wicks in 2003, a cotton wick with no metal core is the industry standard for burn safety — this candle's cotton wick ensures that over its 60-hour life, no heavy metals vaporize into the room, keeping the fresh-air experience of mandarin and water jasmine truly clean.
What the aquatic cotton scent actually smells like
- The mandarin note provides a sparkling, just-peeled citrus burst that mimics the sharp cleanliness of laundry detergent; because citrus top notes evaporate quickly, the initial brightness gives way to the softer green-floral heart within minutes, which is why the candle opens with an invigorating 'fresh wash' character before settling into a gentler air-dried warmth.
- Violet leaf contributes a cucumber-cool, leafy greenness that evokes the smell of damp fabric flapping on a clothesline in a spring breeze; its slightly aquatic, dewy texture bridges the crisp mandarin opening and the water jasmine heart, providing the sensation of outdoor freshness central to the sun-dried linen illusion.
- The three-note structure — fleeting citrus top, green-aquatic middle, transparent floral base — mirrors the build of many classic clean cotton fragrance oils, where the goal is to replicate the smell of fabric dried in sunlight rather than a perfumed dryer sheet; the absence of heavy musks or creamy bases in the listed notes suggests this candle stays closer to genuine line-dried laundry than to a cosmetic interpretation.
- Rather than the indolic depth of traditional jasmine grandiflorum, water jasmine is an accord engineered for transparency — it brings a cool, dewy floral note that reads as clean and airy, the reason it sits at the heart of this fresh-laundry candle without turning it into a heavy white-floral composition.
The story behind Ruby Brown, the fragrance designer
- Brown anchors her brand in Montreal's creative, open, and vibrant culture, meaning the candle carries a distinct local identity beyond just being hand-poured in Quebec — it’s a product of a specific artistic ecosystem.
- Brown initially brought her craft to consumers through Essence Workshops in Montreal, a hands-on, personal approach that later scaled into designing for major retailers — the candle is a result of a business rooted in direct, artisanal creation rather than mass-market production.
- Beyond Simons, Brown has crafted signature scents for Cirque du Soleil and Le Germain hotels, positioning her as a go-to for Canadian luxury institutions — this candle shares the same professional ambition and brand-building sensibility.
- Brown's training under a master perfumer in New Jersey — a locale sometimes called 'the Grasse of North America' — means the candle's formulation is the work of a professionally educated nose, not a self-taught enthusiast, giving the fresh aquatic notes an integrity that mirrors fine fragrance.
- Brown modelled for Simons clothing campaigns early in her career, making this candle part of a full-circle journey that connects her personal history to the brand's aesthetic — the scent is created by someone who understands the Simons woman from the inside out.
