Paper-woven cotton wick.
Phthalate-free, Prop 65-free fragrance oil.

- Always burn at least until the melt pool reaches the edge before extinguishing (2-4 hrs, first burn takes longest)
- Trim the wick to ⅛-¼ inch between burns
- Trim while burning, if necessary, to maintain a steady flame no taller than 1 inch
- Burning for too little time causes tunneling
- For the longest life, keep wicks trimmed short (1/8 inch) and allow more time for the melt pool to develop
- For stronger fragrance, start with a fuller wick (¼ inch) to develop the melt pool quickly, then trim down

The most universally recognized scent of all the candles I make, Petrichor recreates the unmistakable aroma of rain-soaked earth in the quiet moments just after a storm. The scent comes from geosmin – a compound released by healthy soil bacteria and detectable by humans at just 10 parts per trillion. Our sensitivity to it is believed to be an evolutionary adaptation for finding water and assessing soil health, making the aroma a shared and welcome experience across cultures and continents.
Blending notes of damp grass, wet stones, and fresh rainfall, this candle realistically captures the ephemeral essence of early spring rains, in all its wet and earthy glory. This scent is a Firelands Wax original blend and can’t be found anywhere else.
Hand-poured with clean-burning ingredients, Petrichor is perfect for creating a calm, meditative atmosphere or for burning while it’s raining.
