Scent Notes:
TOP: Spearmint & Pineapple
MIDDLE: Bamboo, Green Floral & Lavender
BASE: Coconut Milk & Coconut
The scent is reminiscent of my childhood. It reminds me of my mom making fresh lemongrass and mint tea in the mornings and eating freshly grown pineapples on a hot day at the beach. The fragrance oils I combined created this luxurious marriage of fresh bamboo and smooth coconut. This candle brings a spa atmosphere to any space and is an airy, ozonic escape from the everyday.
This scent has broad, year-round appeal and is a great choice for both upscale and naturally-focused fragrance preferences.
Geography:
The Virgin Islands are an archipelago of islands in the Caribbean, located roughly 40 miles east of Puerto Rico. Emeralds of the sea. Where beaches are bright with coral sand. And trade winds bless our native land. Previously known as the Danish West Indies of the Kingdom of Denmark–Norway (from 1754 to 1814) and the independent Kingdom of Denmark (from 1814 to 1917), they were sold to the United States by Denmark for $25,000,000 in the 1917 Treaty of the Danish West Indies and have since been an organized, unincorporated United States territory.
The Virgin Islands Chapter(s):
I was born and raised in the U.S. Virgin Islands, on the island of St. Thomas. I am a proud Virgin Islander, and I couldn't be more grateful for the incredibly unique upbringing I was fortunate to have. As a kid, the beach was my backyard. We lived minutes away from some of the most pristine turquoise waters on the planet. At the age of 18, I moved to the mainland U.S. to attend college at Denison University in Granville, OH. Upon graduation, I moved to Rhode Island, then to Houston for 2 years, before returning home in 2014 to be closer to family.
Care information
Care information
Here at VAKANSE CANDLE CO., we aim to bring joy and contentment to your space by filling it up with inspiring, aromatic notes conducive to peace and relaxation. Remember to always follow the candle care tips below (DO's & DON'Ts) whenever your candle is in use.
DO's
- When using your candle for the first time, leave it to burn for 3-4 hours, until all of the wax on the surface has become liquid.
- Trim your candle's wooden wick to 3/16" before each burn to ensure a steady, soot-free flame. A pair of scissors or wick trimmers are recommended, though you should be able to trim the wooden wick with your fingers using a small piece of tissue to break off the burnt wood.
- Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches, and any debris at all time.
- Extinguish a candle is it smokes, flickers, or if the flame becomes too high. These are signs that the candle is not burning properly and the flame isn't controlled. Let the candle cool, trim the wick, and check the space for drafts before re-lighting.
- To maximize scent throw, burn the candle in its desired space for 30 minutes with the door(s) closed. Open doors and windows will disperse the candle's scent.
- Burn your candle for no more than 4 hours at a time.
- If you've created a large wax pool during your burn, use a snuffer or blow the candle out VERY gently to avoid splattering the hot wax!
- Wait until the flame is completely extinguished and clear of smoke before replacing your candle's lid.
DON'Ts
- Never leave a burning candle unattended. Lit candles should be in sight at all times!
- Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire, such as curtains, books, bedding, loose papers, fabric, drapes, decorations, etc.
- Don't burn candles near drafts: open windows, A/C units, vents, fans, etc.
- Keep candles out of the reach of pets & children.
- Don't burn your candle for more than 3 hours at a time.
