Product Insights
Moodgie's Palo Santo Scented Candle draws on Incan purification traditions with a sweeter, gentler scent than white sage, blending palo santo from the frankincense family (cured 4-10 years) with cedar, lemon, clove, and patchouli to create a meditation-friendly, sweet-woody-minty fragrance that fills a 12x12 room at intensity 4/5. Made from 100% natural soy wax without paraffin, phthalates, or parabens, it requires a 2-4 hour first burn to achieve the rated scent throw and avoid tunneling, enabling 50-hour total burn time at $0.70/hour (30% cheaper than 110g options). The jar is reusable as a planter after wax removal via freezer or boiling water, and 1% of sales supports the Canadian Mental Health Association.

much sweeter, woodier, and fruitier fragrance with its distinctive minty twist, making it less sharp and more inviting for some users.

- Burn practice
To achieve the rated 4/5 scent throw, burn until the wax forms a full melt pool, about 2-4 hours on the first burn.
Why this is supported
The candle's scent throw is rated 4 out of 5, but proper burning technique is essential. According to candle care guides,
When you light a new candle, let it burn until the melted wax reaches nearly all the way across the surface. For many jar candles, that means at least 2 to 4 hours
aunaturelsoycandles.caAnother source warns that
Tunneling is one of the main causes for a candle not creating much fragrance while burning!
brookfieldcandlecompany.comA Q&A confirms the intensity rating and that it fills a 12x12 ft room, but notes this is achieved with a full melt pool.
- Burning technique
Burn sessions must be 2–4 hours to avoid tunneling and achieve 50-hour burn time and full scent.
Why this is supported
Soy wax has thermal memory; the first burn must melt wax to the jar's edges, requiring 2–4 hours.
When you light a new candle, let it burn until the melted wax reaches nearly all the way across the surface. For many jar candles, that means at least 2 to 4 hours

Avoid burning for longer than 4 hours as it may cause the wick to slant or move.
