Persimmon + Apple | Coconut Apricot Wax Candle
As symbols of good luck and transformation, the Autumn trio of persimmon, apple, and citron helps to welcome the New Year in elegant and fragrant fashion. Persimmons and other citrus fruits are significant in many cultures. In China, persimmons are given as a symbol of good luck during the New Year. In Korea and Buddhism, persimmons represent transformation. In Western traditions, an orange was a luxurious and sought-after Christmas gift and is a stocking-stuffer to this day.
While Persimmon + Apple has roots in New Year and holiday traditions, the upscale scent is welcoming and comforting year round.
This candle is infused with natural essential oils, including eucalyptus, palmarosa, clary sage, amyris, lemongrass, black pepper, galbanum, chamomile, celery seed, and cinnamon leaf.
Caring for your candles
Caring for your candles
All WaxWing Poetic candles are hand-poured in our studio using clean-burning luxury coconut apricot wax. Soon after you light your candle you'll notice a difference in the way our coconut apricot wax burns in comparison to a large batch soy or paraffin wax candle. Coconut wax candles burn more slowly and softly and will have a longer burn time than a comparable paraffin wax candle.
We have worked hard to ensure that your candle burns cleanly and not too hot. However, always follow best practices when burning candles.
- Place your candle on a flat, stable, non-flammable surface.
- Burn your candle for at least two hours the first time.
- Trim wicks to 1/4 inch for cleaner burns; they are trimmed to this length when you receive them.
- Never leave lit candle unattended.
- Never burn more than 4 hours at one time.
- Keep away from pets and children.
- Do not leave near open window or flammable objects.
- Do not store in sunny, warm areas (so they do not melt).
