Dreamy, floral, and softly fruity, Artea is a reusable soy candle that fills your space with the gentle beauty of a garden waking up in spring. One flame and the whole room blooms. Delicate, warm, and impossibly lovely, like wandering through petals and plum trees on the first truly warm day of the year.

Scent: Flower petals, plum, and fresh foliage.

Qualities: Dreamy, floral, springlike.

Inspired by: The embodiment of sweetness, morning light on soft petals, the first bite of a ripe plum, and the feeling that spring has finally, gently, arrived. Floral without being perfumy, fruity without being heavy. Artea is a candle for those who dream of spring even in the middle of winter.

What's Included

• One Artea reusable soy candle in your chosen size

Care

Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use. On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edges to prevent tunnelling. Keep away from drafts. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
