Product details
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.
Identity
Artea is part of the Mimi & August reusable candle collection, designed by co-founder and illustrator Camille Forcherio and hand-poured in our South Shore of Montreal workshop.
Materials
100% natural soy wax, non-toxic premium fragrance oil, and a lead-free cotton wick. Housed in a handcrafted reusable ceramic container that becomes a mug or decorative piece once the candle is done.
Dimensions
11 oz: Approx. 75–80 hours. 325 ml capacity — your new favourite oversized coffee mug.
5.5 oz: Approx. 35–40 hours. A versatile handle cup for coffee, tea, or as a candle holder.
3 oz: Approx. 15–20 hours. A speckled gray cup — perfect for a double espresso, a jewellery dish, or a small tealight holder.

- Non-toxic, phthalate-free fragrance

Use Cases
Light it for cozy evenings, self-care rituals, a relaxing bath, or whenever you want your space to feel like the first day of spring. Once the candle is done, clean the cup and use it for your morning coffee, as a plant pot, a pencil holder, or a trinket dish.
What's Included
- One Artea reusable soy candle in your chosen size
- Illustrated packaging designed by Camille Forcherio
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.
