Afterglow

THE SCENT OF SUNSET OVER ULUWATU

Bright lily and citrus over warm, grounding sandalwood. It's the scent of the sun setting over the Uluwatu coastline in Bali, Indonesia.

Far from the humid heat of the busy city, the air is cooler and the salty breeze carries the fresh scent of lily of the valley. Picture a balmy summer evening, a refreshing Melati Spritz in hand, and the tranquil warm glow of the sunset. It opens light and floral, then settles into something quieter and warmer as it burns.

DETAILS

Scent notes: Lily, Citrus and Sandalwood | Price: $45 | 100% organic soy wax | Organic cotton wick | Pure essential oil | 32-40 hour burn time | Volume: 9.5oz / Weight: 1.02lbs | Hand-poured in the Riau Islands, Indonesia

CARE

Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before every burn to prevent smoking or the wick falling into the wax. Let the first burn run long enough for the wax to melt evenly across the full surface, usually 2 to 3 hours, so the candle doesn't tunnel down the middle on future burns. Keep the wick centred so the glass doesn't overheat, and burn on a stable, heat-safe surface away from drafts.

Is Afterglow scented naturally?

Yes, with pure essential oil rather than synthetic fragrance, in 100% organic soy wax.

How long does Afterglow burn?

32 to 40 hours per candle, longer than a typical paraffin candle of the same size, since soy wax burns slower and cooler.

Is Afterglow vegan?

Yes, both the soy wax and the cotton wick are plant-based, with no animal-derived ingredients.
