Back Country Ballads
A radiant blend of vibrant citrus zest and golden petals that captures the feeling of sunlit fields, winding country roads, and a favorite ballad drifting through the open air.
Bright and softly floral with an easy warmth, this scent feels joyful and free-spirited — like the first notes of a song that make you roll the windows down and sing along.
The Breakdown
Bergamot, satsuma mandarin, and pink pepper open the scent (The Opening Chord), creating a bright, sparkling introduction with a lively hint of spice.
The heart (The Chorus) blends plum blossom and red dahlia with the juicy sweetness of raspberry sorbet, unfolding into a vibrant floral-fruit composition that feels romantic, expressive, and full of life.
It settles into a warm, grounded base (The Fade-Out) of cedarwood and Dreamwood, leaving behind a soft, woodsy finish like the last notes of a heartfelt country ballad lingering in the air.
Crafted with Essential Oils: Lemon oil, lime oil, orange peel oil, mandarin oil, clove leaf oil, elemi oil, black pepper oil, and cedarwood oil.

First Burn: When lighting your candle for the first time, let it burn for at least an hour. This ensures the wax melts evenly to the edge of the jar, preventing tunneling (where the wax only melts down the center).
Clean Wax Pool: Keep the wax pool free of debris, such as wick trimmings or matches. This helps with a smooth burn and prevents the flame from becoming obstructed.
Proper Storage: When not in use, store your candle in a cool, dry place to prevent the wax from melting and to maintain its quality.
Burn Time: The burn time is estimated to be up to 60 hours.
Burning Recommendations: It is recommended to burn your candle for at least an hour each time but avoid burning it for too long. Aim to burn your candle for no more than 4 hours at a time to prevent the wax from overheating and to help prolong the life of your candle.
Safety Precautions: Always burn the candle within sight and away from flammable objects, drafts, pets, and children. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Extinguishing the Flame: Use a snuffer to extinguish the flame instead of blowing it out to prevent hot wax from splattering.
Container Caution: Be cautious when handling the candle container, as it can become hot during and after burning.
