For Valentine's Day, Velvet Rose & Cedar embodies a sense of closeness—romantic but not overdone, elegant but effortless. This candle combines a rich floral blend of jasmine and hedione (a jasmine-derived aromatic that lends a sheer, radiant diffusion) with a soft, resinous warmth courtesy of benzyl benzoate (an ester of Balsam Peru). A crisp hint of juniper alongside a cedarwood base grounds the sweetness, resulting in a contemporary "rose & woods" character that reads as intimate, elevated, and ready for gifting—ideal for candlelit dinners, unhurried mornings, and any small moment deserving of celebration.
Approximate Burn Time: 20-30 Hours
Scent Profile: Velvet Rose & Cedar reads like a Valentine's Day love letter in fragrance form—soft, glowing, and subtly captivating. A rich floral center opens like fresh petals at twilight, carried along by jasmine's romantic warmth. Light, radiant elements lift the blend into a lingering aura, while warm balsamic tones envelop it all in a smooth, skin-like sweetness. Crisp juniper paired with soft cedarwood rounds it out with a refined, woodsy finish—like roses pinned to a tailored jacket, worn for a night worth remembering.
Aromatherapy Benefits: Peru Balsam brings a sweet, vanilla-like richness known to help ease overwhelming emotions, calm nervous tension, and foster a relaxing environment.
Ingredients: Petrochemical-free coconut wax, castor oil, Juniperus Virginiana (juniper) oil, benzyl benzoate (ester of Balsam Peru), Jasminum Officinale (jasmine) oil, hedione (derived from jasmine).
Scent Strength: Strong 💓 *Candles made with essential oils tend to have a subtler aroma once lit. Don't expect these to fill up your whole house with scent!
How To Use: Begin by getting your empty Kaia vessel ready 🕯️
- Step 1: Once your candle has burned down to its final flame, extinguish it carefully and let it cool completely. Then place it in the freezer for 2-3 hours.
- Step 2: Take a butter knife and pop out the leftover wax and wick—it should come apart into large chunks fairly easily. Optional: if that doesn't work, set your glass on a baking sheet and pop it in the oven to melt down the remaining wax, which makes the wick easier to remove. Be sure to use oven mitts!
- Step 3: Push against the bottom of the Meaningful Mantras refill container with your thumb to pop the refill out. This might take a bit of patience depending on how warm or cool your home is. Keep in mind our wax has no paraffin or soy in it, so it's naturally softer than most waxes—you may get some coconut oil on your fingers, which is just proof of how natural our ingredients really are! 🥥
- Step 5: Carefully lift the candle out by its wick and place it into a clean 8oz Meaningful Mantras Kaia candle glass. Note that this refill is designed to fit only the Kaia glass.
- Step 7: Light your candle and enjoy—just let the wax melt out to the edges before putting it out. Do not light the candle while it's still in the refill tube, as the tube is meant only for transporting the candle into your Kaia glass, not for burning.
