Product details
Warm, grounding, and quietly enveloping, Botanica is a reusable soy candle that fills your space with the calm of a sunlit conservatory on a still afternoon. One flame and the whole room wraps around you. Like a slow cup of tea, a deep breath, and the permission to do absolutely nothing.
Scent: Black tea, bergamot, and cornflower.
Qualities: Calming, inviting, grounding.
Inspired by: An oasis of tranquility, the warm comfort of a tea ritual, the earthy calm of a garden greenhouse, and the feeling of being perfectly at ease in your own space. Herbal without being sharp, warm without being heavy. Botanica is a candle for those who know that stillness is its own kind of luxury.
Hand-poured in our South Shore of Montreal workshop with 100% natural soy wax and non-toxic fragrances, this black tea scented candle brings the serenity of a botanical retreat into your home.
