Candles

Hand-poured coconut-soy candles, one for each of the five elements, plus the complete set.

The scents

Calm (Fire): neroli and rose over amber. Bright and floral with a warm finish.
Center (Earth): vanilla and cardamom over clove. Warm, sweet, a little spiced.
Flow (Wood): mandarin, cypress and patchouli. Citrus up top, green and earthy underneath.
Release (Metal): lemongrass and lavender over amber. Clean and herbaceous with a soft base.
Restore (Water): cedar, frankincense and vanilla. Woody and resinous, grounded by sweetness.

Each candle is the anchor scent for its series, so the fragrance mist and body products follow it. Burn the Restore candle and use the Restore lotion and the room and your skin agree with each other.

Sizes

4 oz for a bedroom, office or bathroom. 8 oz for a living room or anywhere with more air to fill.

The Five Elements Candle Set is all five in 4 oz for $99, and it is our single best-selling product. It also makes the easiest gift on the site, because nobody has to guess a scent.

Getting a clean burn

The first burn matters most. Let the wax melt fully across the top to the edge, about 2 to 3 hours for the 4 oz and 3 to 4 for the 8 oz. If you put it out before then, the candle will tunnel for the rest of its life and you will lose a third of the wax.

Trim the wick to a quarter inch before every light. Burn no longer than 4 hours at a time. Stop when a quarter inch of wax remains.

Coconut-soy blend, cotton wick, phthalate-free fragrance.
