She doesn't enter a room. She haunts it. 🥀
In Belladonna & Brandy, crushed violets come first — powdery, moody, just a little bruised — with green leaves and a cold flash of bergamot, like black lace left out in a midnight garden. Then the brandy pours in, warm and slow-burning over tonka bean and orris, a drink in a velvet booth long after close. This isn't a sweet candle. It's intoxicated.
As she burns, the feral heart emerges: smoked oud, sandalwood, dark amber resin — deep, luxe, lingering long after you've blown her out. For the wild-hearted. For the romantic villains.
Hand-poured into an 8 oz heavy glass sipper jar (3.5″ tall × 2.75″ wide) with a natural acacia wood lid (yes, the glass is dishwasher safe!), this 6.5 oz Sipper is made for after dark. Light her late. Let her misbehave. Then wash out your glass and pour a real brandy in it.
Each candle is topped with a purposeful pairing of gemstones to amplify the energy of this scent:
✨ Crystal Pairing
- Lepidolite — Calming • Anxiety Relief • Inner Healing
- Black Obsidian — Grounding • Protection • Clearing
Together, these stones hold steady in the dark — calm at the center, protection at the edges.
✨ Fragrance Notes
- Top: Crushed Violet, Green Leaves, Bergamot — bruised, powdery, a little cold
- Middle: Brandy, Tonka Bean, Orris — warm, boozy, slow-dance energy

♻️ Sustainability & Care
Vessel lives on as a lidded drinking glass, planter, or trinket holder. Snap the charred top off your wooden wick with your fingers before each burn (when the candle is cool) — no trimmer required, we hate fussy too. Allow a full melt pool on the first burn for best performance. Always burn on a heat-safe surface away from drafts.

Care & Burn Tips
For the best candle experience:
- Let the wax melt fully to the edges on your first burn — this prevents tunneling. Your candle will thank you.
- Snap the charred top off your wooden wick before each burn. No trimmer required, just your fingers and a cool candle.
- Keep the candle free of anything that's not wick or wax. Rule of thumb: if you wouldn't eat it, don't burn it.
- Keep burns to 2–3 hours — she's happiest that way. Four hours is the hard max; give her a rest after.
- Stop using when only 1/4" of wax remains. (We know, parting is such sweet sorrow.)
Heads up: wood wicks can be drama queens on the first light — sometimes it takes a few tries. A butane mini-torch lighter is your best friend here. Patience pays off.
Cleaning & Reuse Instructions
Transform your Sipper into a stylish drinking glass with these simple steps:
- Allow the Candle to Cool: Ensure the candle wax has completely cooled and solidified before attempting to remove it.
- Remove Excess Wax: Gently scrape off as much of the leftover wax as possible using a spoon or butter knife. Be careful not to scratch the glass.
- Fill a Bowl with Hot Water: Place the candle glass in the bowl (careful not to get water in the glass) to soften the wax. Wipe with a paper towel.
- Clean with Hot Soapy Water: Fill the glass with hot, soapy water and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Wipe Clean: Use a sponge or cloth to wipe away any remaining wax residue.
- Dishwasher Safe: Once the wax is completely removed, you can place the glass in the dishwasher for a thorough cleaning.
Enjoy your new, eco-friendly drinking glass! Perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your beverage collection.
