This beloved scent, the Heirloom Tomato Candle captures the supple, green essence of balmy summer nights in the garden. Think ripe Tomatoes hanging heavy from freshly watered vines, their leaves at their most fragrant. This Candle releases an intoxicating aroma of herbaceous, peppery earth evoking a wildly nostalgic Summer feeling that lingers long after the flame is out. A Summer garden distilled, bringing us back to the herbaceous scents of Flamingo Estate with the fresh, green aroma of its leaves, hand-harvested herbs, and hints of spice. Anchored by wild-harvested Tarragon grown in Oregon, and Black Pepper essential oil grown on flowering vines in the forests of Madagascar. Care When burning your candle for the first time, allow it to burn for 2 to 3 hours, until the top layer of the wax has completely melted. This will prevent the wax from tunneling around the wick. When burning the candle after the first burn, do not let it burn for over 3 hours at a time. Ideally, we recommend keeping the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch at all times to prevent the candle from emitting smoke or the wick falling into the wax. After each burn, see that the wick is centered in the wax. This will also ensure that the glass does not overheat. The wick and flame should never be touching the glass. When approaching the end of the candle, leave ¼ inch of wax unburned and ensure you are not burning the candle for more than 3 hours. The glass can get overheated without the presence of wax and break.
