Sydney Hale Co. Shiso + Cedar Candle

It is a complex, sophisticated blend that balances herbal notes of shiso and basil with the warmth of ginger, clove, and black pepper. The base is grounded in hinoki and cedar, giving it a woody, slightly smoky finish that feels earthy rather than sweet.

The dual-wick configuration is designed to ensure an even, consistent burn across the entire surface of the soy wax. This helps prevent tunneling, where wax builds up on the sides of the glass, and maximizes the candle's 50-hour lifespan.

Soy wax is a popular choice because it is a renewable, plant-based resource that typically burns cleaner and slower than paraffin wax. It allows for a subtle, steady fragrance release without producing excessive soot.

To get the most out of your candle, always trim the wicks to about 1/4 inch before each lighting. Additionally, let the candle burn long enough during each use for the wax pool to reach the edges of the jar, which prevents uneven burning.

Sydney Hale Co. donates a portion of all profits from their candle sales directly to animal rescue organizations. It is a core part of their business model, meaning your purchase contributes to these efforts without any extra action required on your part.
