Renaissance Ceramic Candle 200g — Forest Hues, a Woody Musk Candle

Forest Hues is a woody musk candle that opens with cardamom and nutmeg, moves through a violet heart and settles into a deep, earthy musk base. Warm and spiced at the start, grounding and quiet by the end - the candle in the Renaissance range for people who want their space to feel like somewhere they actually want to stay.

Hand-poured in Melbourne, 200g natural soy wax, FSC certified wood wick. The earthy candle for rooms that face the evening.

About Forest Hues

Not every room needs brightness. Some rooms need weight.

Forest Hues is the candle for those rooms. Where most of the Renaissance range opens with citrus or fruit, Forest Hues opens with spice - cardamom and nutmeg, warm and slightly sharp, the kind of opening that makes a room feel considered before you have sat down. The violet in the heart adds a soft, powdery floral note that keeps the spice from becoming too heavy, pulling the fragrance toward something quieter as the burn deepens.

The musk base is where Forest Hues settles and stays. Earthy, warm and deeply grounding - the kind of musk that does not announce itself but changes how a room feels over the course of an evening. Woody undertones give it texture, a depth that most soy candles do not reach.

This is the warm autumn candle that does not belong only to autumn. It suits winter evenings, slow Sunday mornings, home offices where you want the air to feel settled rather than bright. People who gravitate toward earthy, grounding scents tend to find this one and stay with it.

The 200g ceramic burns with an FSC certified wood wick that crackles softly - a sound that suits this fragrance in particular - and creates a wide, even melt pool so the cardamom and musk carry across the room. Developed in-house by founders Suji and Jeeva, IFRA certified and cruelty free, poured by hand in Melbourne.

Scent Notes

Top: Cardamom, Nutmeg Heart: Violet Base: Earthy Musk

Reading the Notes

Cardamom — warm, aromatic and slightly sweet with a spiced edge. It opens Forest Hues with the kind of depth that signals this is not a light fragrance, without being aggressive about it.

Nutmeg — woody and warm alongside the cardamom, adding a subtle spice that reinforces the earthy character of the opening without tipping into seasonal-only territory.

Violet — soft and slightly powdery in the heart. It sits between the warm spice opening and the earthy musk base, keeping the candle from reading as purely woody and giving it a quiet, unexpected delicacy.

Earthy Musk — the base note that defines Forest Hues. Deep, grounding and persistent, it is what remains in a room long after the candle has been snuffed and what makes this a musk soy candle worth returning to.

How to Use

Burn Forest Hues for at least two hours on the first light. This gives the melt pool time to reach the edges of the ceramic and sets the burn pattern for every use after that.

Trim the wick to around 5mm before each burn. Wood wicks occasionally need the charred tip snapped off before relighting - this keeps the flame steady and the crackle consistent.

Store the candle away from direct sunlight between burns to hold the fragrance.

Wooden Wick Candle Care Tips

1. Trim the Wick: Before each use, trim the wooden wick to about 1/8 inch (3-4 mm) to ensure a clean and even burn. This prevents the flame from getting too high and smoking.
2. Initial Burn: Allow the candle to burn for 2-3 hours during its first use, or until the wax melts evenly across the surface. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn in the future.
3. Relighting the Wick: If the wick becomes difficult to light, remove any charred wood gently with a wick trimmer or your fingers. This helps maintain a strong flame.
4. Avoid Drafts: Keep the candle away from drafts, fans, or open windows to prevent uneven burning and soot buildup.
5. Burn Time: Do not burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Allow the wax to solidify before relighting to ensure the best performance.
6. Extinguishing the Flame: Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame instead of blowing it out. This reduces smoke and preserves the fragrance.
7. Safety First: Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from flammable objects, children, and pets.

Additional Tips

1. Storage: Store candles in a cool, dark place to maintain their fragrance and prolong their life.
2. Wax Care: If the candle develops a memory ring, wrap aluminum foil around the top edge and let it burn for a few hours to even out the wax.

With these tips, you can enjoy a beautiful, clean burn and a delightful fragrance from your wooden wick candle. Happy burning!
