Product Insights
Hand-poured in Montreal by a team of nine, this eucalyptus and oakmoss candle is engineered for mood modification with a jar designed for reuse. Its scent—camphoraceous eucalyptus opening, lavender softening, oakmoss grounding—evokes a rainy forest floor, unlike brighter forest scents. Made with all-natural soy wax and phthalate-free fine fragrance oils, it burns without benzene or toluene; a metal-free cotton wick with kraft paper core eliminates lead emissions, delivering a room-filling, even burn over 50 hours—50% longer than comparable paraffin candles. The brand commits to perfuming air without compromising it, ensuring full ingredient traceability from their Montreal studio. However, achieving the full burn time requires proper care (maximum 4-hour burns), and at $35 list, competitors like Mala offer bundle discounts bringing per-candle cost to ~$26, reflecting a main tradeoff of premium craftsmanship versus price.
