Top notes Wet Earth The first notes you smell, and the first to evaporate. They are strongest in the cold throw, the smell of the candle before you light it.
Middle Summer Ozone
Base notes Ferns They are strongest while the candle burns, and stay in the room after you blow it out.
Petrichor is the smell of rain on dry soil. It is an incredibly unique and nostalgic scent that brings me right back to my childhood, when I would spend hours playing outside in nature.

This smell is unique and might not be to everyone's taste. I encourage you to try a free sample kit to find the scent that's right for you. Additionally, the smell of rain on dry soil is unique in different locations. This particular interpretation of petrichor is based on my upbringing in New England. If you grew up in the deserts of western America, I might instead recommend trying either the Creosote or Sagebrush candles.

Burning & care

Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn.

Your candle arrives with the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch. A long wick makes more soot.

Let wax melt to the edge of the glass on the first burn.

A part-melted pool leaves a tunnel in the wax. A tunnel cuts the burn time of your candle. The first burn takes 3 to 4 hours.

Burn the candle for no more than 4 hours at a time.

A longer burn makes the glass too hot to touch. It also reduces the total burn time.

Caution. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children, pets, and drafts.

I requested the sample kit first (free!) Then I purchased a Biblichor candle, along with Sagebrush, Creosote, Petrichor, and Rain On Payment wax melts. I love all of them! It's difficult to choose, but Creosote is my favorite. I put the candle under a warmer and it fills my house (1300sf). The wax melts are very high quality and I love the recyclable bags! The cold and hot throw on all of these is superb - 2 melts will last a week. I also mix these together. The scents are realistic and none...
