How to Use Our Wild Lavender and Vetiver Candle
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Wild Lavender + Vetiver Coconut Candle made from?
It's a 100ml coconut wax candle with a cotton wick, scented with lavender, vetiver, clove and cedarwood essential oils. The lavender oil is Super Lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia 'Super'), and it's the main scent.
What does a lavender and vetiver candle smell like?
It smells earthy and woody rather than sweet. Smoky, grassy vetiver sits under soft lavender, with warm clove and dry cedarwood rounding it out. It's a good choice for a reading corner or home office, or for anyone who prefers a rich, outdoorsy scent.
How do I burn the candle, and how long does it last?
It burns for up to 25 hours. Trim the wick to about 6mm (1/4 inch) before each use and let the wax pool reach the edges for an even burn. Use a snuffer to put it out. Never leave it burning unattended, and keep it away from drafts, children and pets.
Does this candle contain nuts, coconut, beeswax or milk?
It contains coconut, because the candle is made from coconut wax. It doesn't contain nuts, beeswax or milk. The scent comes from essential oils including lavender, vetiver, clove and cedarwood. The full ingredient list is on this page.
Who is this lavender and vetiver candle suitable for, and is it a good gift?
It suits anyone who likes woody, earthy scents at home, especially on cold nights. It makes a thoughtful gift for a dad, a partner or a friend who finds floral candles too sweet. If you're pregnant, check with your healthcare provider before burning essential oil candles for long periods.
Where does the lavender in this candle come from?
It comes from our own family farm in Newstead, Waikato, New Zealand. We grow Super Lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia 'Super'), steam-distil the oil ourselves and hand-pour every candle in small batches on the farm.
