Bonita Fierce's Spanish Moss candle captures the essence of a plant deeply rooted in the cultures of Mexico, Central and South America, and the Southern United States. This aromatic creation evokes the mystique of Southern Gothic imagery and Mexican folklore, offering a sensory experience as complex and satisfying as a fine tequila ahumado or mezcal.
The scent opens with an earthy punch of sage, grounded by the deep character of oakmoss and amber. As it develops, soothing notes of orange, grapefruit, lavender, and tonka bean emerge, creating a perfectly balanced olfactory journey that invites relaxation and reflection.
Crafted with care and consciousness, 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 when your candle's journey ends.
Mood: herbal sage, oakmoss and amber
Notes: sage, orange, grapefruit, lavender, oakmoss, amber, tonka bean
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.
Bonita Fierce Candles celebrate the unique cultural crossroads of being Latine and American through clean, premium home fragrance. Founded by Melissa Gallardo, who navigated the complexities of cultural identity, the brand aims to fill a gap in the home fragrance industry by creating scents that authentically represent Latine experiences. Each candle is crafted with care and hand-poured in New York, using coconut soy wax, phthalate-free fragrances, and FSC-certified wooden wicks.
