Scent Description - Shanghai Blossom - Mother's Day Edition

Gift Mum this Mother's Day with this reclaimed wine bottle candle's charming scent which is lovingly inspired by the springtime in Shanghai. The cherry blossoms or 'sakura' are in full bloom and the Shanghai Blossom candle encapsulates the essence of the Shanghai Haiwan Forest Park, where the most picturesque cherry blossoms can be found.

Let your mind float far away with notes of pink pepper, jasmine, bitter orange and lily of the valley creating a soft, oriental floral accord whilst the vetiver, patchouli and vanilla soften this heavenly elixir. Other scent notes that may be detected include bergamot, tuberose and clove.

Features:

• Made from Reclaimed Wine Bottles collected from the wineries and restaurants of the Southern Highlands of NSW and Canberra, Australia
• 50+ hour burn time
• All bottles are hand-cut, sanded and polished.
• Hand-poured in small batches with 100% natural soy wax & beautifully-scented premium-grade fragrance oils in the Southern Highlands of NSW, Australia.
• Sustainably-sourced cork topper to keep your candle dust free when not in use (not to put the candle out!).

Things to note: These candles are made from wine bottles which may have a domed base, called a punt. This means the bottom of the wick sits on top of the punt, a few centimetres higher than the base of some of the wider vessels and can only burn this far. The narrower vessels have a very low punt or a flat base. However, this equals out so that all the vessels have a 50+ burn time.

HOW TO PROPERLY CARE FOR YOUR CANDLE - CANDLE CARE TIPS

The Important First Burn

The first burn plays a huge part in caring for your candle. When lighting your Mojo candle for the first time, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the container. This creates what is called a wax "pool." This pool helps to prevent tunnelling and promotes an even burn each time you light the candle and ensures the best scent throw.

Prevent "Mushroom" Wicks!

Trim your wick regularly. A mushroom shape at the top of a wick can sometimes form as a result of carbon build up, where the flame consumes more wax than it can burn. We recommend removing these mushrooms and keeping your wick to a 5mm length before burning at all times. This encourages a more even burn and a steady flame each time you light your Mojo candle. Make sure to always allow the candle to cool before trimming. Using wick trimmers will provide the best results.

Avoid Blowing Out Your Candle

It seems unusual but you should never blow out your Mojo candle! This can cause wax to spray onto your skin or table, smoke to fill the room, the container to crack or soot to form around the edge of the container. Use a candle snuffer or candle tweezers to extinguish the flame. You can either put the candle out but simply squeezing the flame with the candle tweezers or by gently dipping the wick into the melted wax.

Don't Cry Over Spilt Wax!

There's no need to fret if you accidentally spill some candle wax. The cleaning process is simple. Make sure that you leave the wax to cool and harden before trying to remove it from a surface. Once hardened, cover the wax with newspaper, paper towel or brown craft paper. Lightly press down onto the paper with an iron on a low heat. The spilt wax will then melt and be absorbed into the paper.

When To Stop Burning

We recommend a maximum time of 4 hours for each burn. It's also a good rule of thumb to stop burning your Mojo candle once the wax falls below approximately 3cm from the bottom of the vessel. Burning with only a small amount of wax remaining can cause the base of the glass container to overheat. To avoid cracks or any damage to the surface surrounding the candle, we recommend discontinuing use at this point.

Correct Storage Of Your Candle

To protect your candle from fading or discolouration, we recommend always storing it in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight. This doesn't effect the burning of the candle, but can sometimes cause the creamy colour to turn yellow.
