Rocks Candle - Orchid Bay (Wood Wick, Watermelong Tourmaline & Howlite, Soy Candle)

Orchid Bay opens with a delicate twist of freesia and a clean rush of ozone and sea salt, drifts into the heady bloom of orchid, and finishes with creamy tonka bean. It's the candle equivalent of a screened porch above the water at golden hour — exotic, lush, and quietly transportive.

Hand-poured into our signature 100% Spanish recycled glass (yes, it's dishwasher safe!), this luxury Rocks Candle brings serene, tropical energy to your space — perfect for bathrooms, summer hosting, vacation rentals, and any moment that wants to feel like a getaway.

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

✨ Crystal Pairing

• Watermelon Tourmaline — Compassion • Balance • Harmony
• Howlite — Release • Patience • Inner Peace

Watermelon Tourmaline harmonizes the heart while Howlite invites release and calm — together, a pairing built for the kind of softness that comes with sea air and unhurried time.

✨ Fragrance Notes

• Top: Freesia, Ozone

♻️ 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.
• 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 Rocks Candle into a stylish drinking glass with these simple steps:

1. Allow the Candle to Cool: Ensure the candle wax has completely cooled and solidified before attempting to remove it.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Clean with Hot Soapy Water: Fill the glass with hot, soapy water and let it sit for a few minutes.
5. Wipe Clean: Use a sponge or cloth to wipe away any remaining wax residue.
6. Dishwasher Safe: Once the wax is completely removed, you can place the glass in the dishwasher for a thorough cleaning.
