Mood: adorning altars and ancestral healing.
Bonita Fierce's Marigold candle offers a sensory journey deeply rooted in Mexican and Central American traditions. This aromatic creation honors the marigold's sacred role in adorning altars for loved ones, bringing the essence of ancestral connection into your home.
The scent unfolds with a ceremonial blend of cempasúchil (marigold), flor de azahar (orange blossom), and anise, evoking the spiritual ambiance of Día de los Muertos altars. As the fragrance develops, notes of sunflower, mimosa, jicama, dahlia rose, and jasmine emerge, carrying loving memories on their delicate petals. The experience is grounded by the warmth of musk and amber, symbolizing the enduring connection between past and present.
Crafted with mindfulness, this 8.5 oz candle burns for 50-60 hours in a reusable 13 oz glass vessel. The coconut soy wax blend is gluten-free, paraben-free, and phthalate-free, ensuring a clean burn that respects both your space and the environment. An FSC-certified wooden wick provides a gentle crackle, while the plantable seed paper dust cover offers a sustainable afterlife – grow wildflowers as a living tribute when your candle's journey ends.
Before the first light, set aside 3-4 hours to burn the candle uninterrupted. This crucial step allows the coconut soy wax to form a "memory," melting evenly to the container's edge and preventing tunneling in future burns. Always trim the wick to 0.5 cm before lighting to promote an even burn and reduce smoke. Burn for no more than 4 hours at a time. Keep the candle within sight, away from drafts, children, pets, and flammable objects. Stop burning when 1/2 inch of wax remains.
When you're done, you can plant the seed paper dust cover under a thin layer of soil and water thoroughly to grow wildflowers.
