Berry & Bloom 9oz Jam Jar Soy Candle, Green Aventurine & Rose Quartz

If you've ever spent way too much on a certain cult-favorite bath product that smells like the most extraordinary strawberry in the universe — welcome home. Berry & Bloom is our soy-candle translation of that scent: bright strawberry and bergamot up top, floral geranium and warm frankincense in the heart, spicy clove and sweet vanilla settling in like the world's most flattering sweater.

Hand-poured into our signature 9oz Classic Jam Jar — premium food-grade glass with a sleek black metal airtight lid (yes, both the jar AND the lid are dishwasher safe!) — this soy candle is built for the long game. When you've burned through the last of the wax, the vessel doesn't head to recycling: it becomes a spice jar, a pantry staple, a DIY container, a trinket holder, or even a bud vase. We call that the full-circle moment.

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

✨ Crystal Pairing

• Green Aventurine — Optimism • Harmony • Growth
• Rose Quartz — Love • Compassion • Joy

Green Aventurine nurtures vibrant optimism while Rose Quartz deepens love and joyful resonance — together, a pairing of emotional radiance and uplifting connection.

✨ Fragrance Notes

• Top: Strawberry, Bergamot
• Middle: Geranium, Frankincense

♻️ Sustainability & Care

Vessel lives on as a spice jar, pantry container, DIY storage, trinket holder, or bud vase — the airtight lid means it earns its keep long after the candle's gone. 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.
• Don't burn for more than 4 hours at a stretch — give it a rest.
• 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 jam jar into a reusable kitchen, vanity, or desk staple:

1. Allow the Candle to Cool: Ensure the wax has fully cooled and solidified before attempting to remove it.
2. Remove Excess Wax: Gently scrape off as much leftover wax as possible with a spoon or butter knife. Be careful not to scratch the glass.
3. Soften with Hot Water: Set the jar in a bowl of hot water (keep water out of the jar) to soften any remaining wax. Wipe with a paper towel.
4. Wash with Hot Soapy Water: Fill the jar with hot, soapy water and let it sit for a few minutes.
5. Wipe Clean: Use a sponge or cloth to remove any last wax residue.
6. Dishwasher Safe: Once the wax is fully gone, both the jar AND the lid can go straight into the dishwasher for a final, thorough clean.

Now you've got a premium, airtight, food-grade glass jar ready for a second life — spice storage, overnight oats, sourdough starter, DIY beauty containers, or simply something pretty on a shelf. The Evolve Botanica vessel keeps earning its keep.
