Paddywax Checkmate Black Fig + Olive Porcelain Jar Candle

Checkmate! These candles come in hand-painted vessels, making each one uniquely yours. **Black Fig & Olive (Fresh)**: Notes of green olive leaf and meyer lemon dance with black fig atop poplar wood, musk, and tonka bean. *For the best burn experience, keep the following in mind:* * The first time you light your candle, allow it to burn until the wax pool melts all the way to the edge; for a larger candle, this may take several hours. Wax has "memory," so if it is extinguished with a partial pool, that will prevent a full, even pool from forming in the future. * Trim your wick each time you light the candle, removing any "bloom" from the previous burn. We recommend lighting a wick that is 1/4-1/2" in length. * Ensure that your candle is placed on a heat-safe surface. * Do not allow wick trimmings, dust, or other materials to accumulate in the wax pool. * To ensure safety and longevity, be sure to check the bottom of your candle for additional instructions, including details on when to discontinue use.
