Spirit of the Cape is a fresh, coastal-inspired scent that balances marine clarity with quiet floral softness. Ozone and citrus open the fragrance with an airy brightness, while sea salt and jasmine evoke sunlit breezes and open windows. A gentle finish of musk and cedar grounds the experience in natural elegance. Calming and clean, this scent conjures still mornings by the shore, where refinement meets ease.
Our Ingredients
Each candle is hand-poured using a premium soy wax blend that delivers a clean, even burn without dyes or unnecessary additives. Our braided, lead-free cotton wicks are selected for their steady flame and minimal soot, ensuring a refined burn from first light to final flicker.
Fragranced with IFRA-certified oils that are free from phthalates and parabens, each scent is sophisticated and true-to-life—designed to enhance, not overpower, your space.
Housed in amber glass vessels with textured labels and black metal lids, the minimalist design complements any interior with quiet confidence.
From fragrance to finish, every element is chosen with intention—balancing quality with environmental responsibility in a modern, low-waste approach to luxury.
Candle Care & Safety Guidelines
To ensure a safe, clean, and elegant burn, we recommend observing the following practices:
• Trim the Wick – Before each use, trim the wick to approximately ¼ inch to encourage a steady flame and reduce soot.
• Never Leave Unattended – Always burn your candle within sight. Keep away from drafts, children, pets, and flammable materials.
• Observe Burn Duration – Limit each session to a maximum of four hours. For the initial burn, allow the wax to fully liquefy across the surface to avoid tunneling.
• Mind Your Placement – Set your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from anything combustible.
• Extinguish with Intention – Use a snuffer to extinguish your candle gently and safely. Never use water to put out a flame.
• Know When to Retire – Discontinue use when approximately ¼ inch of wax remains to avoid overheating the vessel.
• Inspect the Glass – Cease burning if the glass becomes cracked, chipped, or noticeably hot to the touch.
Important: Failure to follow these precautions may result in fire, injury, or property damage. Burn responsibly.
