MALIN+GOETZ
9oz Scented Candle
A scented candle in a glass vessel with a burn time of approximately 60 hours. The container can be reused after the candle is finished.
$68
This 9 oz candle is crafted from vegetable wax and features a cotton wick. According to MALIN+GOETZ, it burns for about 60 hours, making it suitable for regular use if lit a few times each week.
For optimal performance, burn it for 2–3 hours during the first use, and limit subsequent burns to a maximum of 3 hours. It is recommended to trim the wick to a quarter inch before each use, which requires some attention beyond simply lighting it.
The glass vessel is durable. Once the candle is used up, it can be cleaned and repurposed for various uses, such as an espresso cup or a small planter.
Why it works
- 60-hour burn time reduces the need for frequent replacements.
- The glass container can be reused after the wax is consumed.
- Made from vegetable wax and a cotton wick for a cleaner burn.
Who it's for
- Individuals who enjoy candles and are willing to maintain the wick.
- Those who value a gift that provides extended use.
What to know
- Burn for 2–3 hours during the first use, then a maximum of 3 hours per session.
- Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting each time.
- Avoid shipping to hot locations in summer, as the brand does not replace melted candles.
