mardi gras + front porches + sweet tea + historic homes + oak trees + the gulf + azaleas + beignets - inspired by my new city, Mobile, AL. This mouth-watering scent smells of the famous pastry - creamy vanilla, smooth bourbon and a hint of lemon butter combine to remind you of the the first time (and every time) you ate a warm beignet.

{blade + bloom} candles are created based on scent memories. Scents can take you back to various moments in your life and bring with it hidden emotions. It's known to be a stronger trigger of memory than sight and sound.

Hand-poured in small batches using clean burning soy wax. Each 7 oz. candle comes in a reusable amber glass jar with lid and burns up to 40 hours. No dyes or colorants are used and each scent is tested for aroma strength and burn time. Please reuse or recycle the container after all the candle goodness is gone. 

Some candle tips for the best performance:

- Trim wick to 1/4" each time before lighting.
- Allow wax to pool to edges during first burning, about 2 hours.
This is to prevent tunneling, a dip in the center of the wax, which can affect the candle's fragrance.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended or move one with melted wax.
- Do not burn a candle that has less than 1/4 inch of wax left.
