Rocks Candle – Apparition (Wood Wick, Howlite & Snow Quartz Gemstone Soy Candle)

Not every ghost wants to scare you. Some just make the room smell like this.

Apparition drifts in on lavender blossom and marshmallow — cool, powdery, barely-there, the temperature dropping two degrees in the sweetest possible way. You'll swear someone lit something. Someone did. You.

Then espresso and burnt caramel materialize through the middle, dark and wide awake — a midnight kitchen, the séance giving up and becoming a late coffee with someone you can't quite see.

The dry down is where she settles in: dark chocolate ganache, Madagascar vanilla, tonka bean, and velvet musk — ganache-dark, velvet-soft, warm enough to make you stop checking over your shoulder. Halloween without the novelty. A haunting you'd invite back.

Hand-poured in small batches into our signature 100% Spanish recycled glass (yes, it's dishwasher safe!), this luxury Rocks Candle is finished with a crackling wood wick. Light her when the house is quiet and you'd rather it be quiet with someone. When she's gone, wash the glass and pour the affogato in it. The ghost would want that.

Each candle is topped with a purposeful pairing of gemstones to amplify the energy of this scent:

✨ Crystal Pairing

• Howlite — Release • Patience • Inner Peace
• Snow Quartz — Clarity • New Beginnings • Luck

Ghost-white on ghost-white, these stones carry calm, luminous energy — the perfect companions for letting go of what haunts you.

♻️ Sustainability & Care

Vessel lives on as a rocks 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.
