Jhane's Take on the Scented Candles

I’ll admit it — I went a little overboard ordering these for myself.

I genuinely love the scents from this maker, especially White Tea & Fig, and these candles immediately earned a place in daily life. They burn beautifully, but what surprised me most is how well the printed glass holds up. The design wraps seamlessly around the vessel with no repeat line, and even after hours of heat there’s no chipping or rubbing off.

Once a candle finishes, I don’t throw the glass away. I melt the remaining wax, wipe out the excess with tissue, then wash the glass in hot water. After that, it becomes something else entirely: a drinking glass (hand-washed), a container for small objects, or quiet storage on a shelf. One of them now even holds my mother’s ashes — simply because it felt more dignified and beautiful than the container I was given. That says a lot about how these live beyond their original purpose.

Yes, they’re expensive at $44, but there’s substance behind that price. They’re made with 100% food-grade soy wax, the finest fragrance oils, and are phthalate- and lead-free. The cotton-cored wicks burn cleanly, and the candle lasts about 65 hours, which is longer than most.

Soy wax matters to me. It’s renewable, sustainable, and biodegradable, burns cleaner than paraffin, and doesn’t release pollutants into the air. It also has a lower melting point, which means the scent throws better and stays present without being overwhelming.

These are candles you enjoy while they burn — and then keep living with afterward. For me, that combination of beautiful printing, real scent quality, and reuse is what makes them worth it.
