Product Insights
The Moodgie Honey & Citrus Scented Candle ($35 CAD, 50-hour burn) is a hand-poured Montreal creation by founder Joël Gamache, who sold his home and left his career in 2020. Its seven-note fragrance opens with raspberry-brightened honey, transitions through a creamy heart of hydrangea and tonka, and settles into earthy carnation and oakmoss, with a moderate (3/5) scent throw. Made with paraffin-free soy wax, phthalate-free oils, and a metal-free cotton wick, the candle requires careful wick care (trimming to ¼ inch, first burn 3–4 hours, never over 4 hours) to eliminate soot. At $0.70/hour, it costs above the typical $0.40–$0.60 range for comparable soy candles, but the reusable jar adds value for storage or small plants, though it is not a drinking glass.
