Rosemary
Walking down the stairs at the Estate, Climbing Rosemary grows wild, spilling over the bricks onto the path, and trailing down the hillside. The scent hits my nose instantly. It’s powerful and herbaceous, with traces of camphor. Rosemary is known to stimulate the mind and enhance memory. I love that the candle brings me back to my time in the garden, my happiest place.
Tomato
The goat shed is a hidden gem at the Estate, a tiny jewel box of delight where apothecary jars line the walls with medicine from Mother Nature. I come here for inspiration, to linger on the porch and soak up the sun that bounces off the walls. Our vegetable garden is here — where tomatoes hang heavy on the vine, their silky skin stretching to contain their sweet juice, their leafy vines reaching for the tops of the trellis. I love biting into a sun warmed tomato and crushing the soft leaves in my hands. We captured this with our Roma Heirloom Tomato Candle. The smell is sweet and green with a hint of sharpness, smoothed out by notes of earth. It’s an unexpected delight that conjures Summer whenever I light it.
Sage
Sage of all varietals grow thickly on the hillsides, attracting butterflies and bees with their showy towers of architectural flowers. The leaves are where the magic lies for me. Soft, velvety, and wildly aromatic, I rub the leaves between my fingers to release the earthy, herbaceous scent. The burning of Sage is known to clear negative energies and reduce stress, and this candle brings that to life. Strike a match and watch the mood transform as the redolent aroma fills the room.
When burning your candle for the first time, allow it to burn for 2 to 3 hours, until the top layer of the wax has completely melted. This will prevent the wax from tunneling around the wick. When burning the candle after the first burn, do not let it burn for over 3 hours at a time.
Ideally, we recommend keeping the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch at all times to prevent the candle from emitting smoke or the wick falling into the wax.
After each burn, see that the wick is centered in the wax. This will also ensure that the glass does not overheat. The wick and flame should never be touching the glass. When approaching the end of the candle, leave ¼ inch of wax unburned and ensure you are not burning the candle for more than 3 hours. The glass can get overheated without the presence of wax and break.
