No. 701 – Lemon Verbena is bright and effortless, like sunlit kitchen air and freshly cut herbs on a warm morning. Sparkling lemon and lemon zest open the fragrance, softened by a touch of vanilla. Lemon verbena and lemongrass add a clean green lift, finishing with soft musk, cut grass, and a whisper of cinnamon for quiet depth.
Our Ingredients
Each candle is hand-poured using a proprietary soy-based wax blend derived from responsibly sourced, non-GMO soybeans grown in the United States. Our wax is plant-based, biodegradable, and free from added dyes, paraffin, palm, or coconut oils, delivering a clean, consistent burn grounded in sustainability and thoughtful design.
We fragrance exclusively with premium oils that are phthalate-free and certified to current IFRA standards, with safety assessments supported by the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials. Select blends may incorporate essential oils to enhance aromatic depth, with safety and consistency always taking precedence over trend.
Braided, lead-free cotton wicks provide a steady flame with minimal visible soot. Each candle is finished in an amber glass vessel with tactile labels, reflecting our commitment to enduring materials and a considered, low-waste aesthetic.
Every element is chosen with intention, supporting a candle that is as honest as it is refined.
Candle Care & Safety Guidelines
To ensure a safe, clean, and elegant burn, the following practices must be observed at all times:
• Trim the Wick – Trim the wick to approximately ¼ inch before each use to maintain a steady flame and minimise soot.
• Never Leave Unattended – Burn candles only while in sight. Keep away from drafts, children, pets, and all flammable materials.
• Observe Burn Duration – Do not burn for more than three hours at a time. During the initial burn, allow the wax to melt fully across the surface to prevent tunnelling.
• Mind Your Placement – Always place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
• Extinguish with Intention – Use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame. Never use water.
• Know When to Retire – Discontinue use when approximately ¼ inch of wax remains.
• Inspect the Glass – Immediately discontinue use if the vessel becomes cracked, chipped, or excessively hot.
Important: Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, personal injury, or property damage.
Menai & Co. designs and labels its candles in accordance with applicable ASTM candle safety and labelling standards, including ASTM F2417 and ASTM F2058.
