The new Flamingo Estate Green Goddess Candle is a radiant, wild thing: curling with the aroma of fresh Mint, bright Pea Tendrils, African Rosemary, and moist Basil. It took them well over a year to get it perfectly right, and the scent is incredibly refreshing and original — giving the same rush and kick as the original Tomato Candle. It really doesn’t make sense, but it’s fantastic.
Green Goddess is a fecund celebration of all that bursts with green. It mingles freshly-picked Basil, sharp Mint, bright pea Tendrils, and warm Golden Ginger — conjuring those fleeting moments at golden hour when everything is lush and the garden feels alive.
When burning your candle for the first time, allow it to burn for 2 to 3 hours, until the top layer of the wax has completely melted. This will prevent the wax from tunneling around the wick. When burning the candle after the first burn, do not let it burn for over 3 hours at a time.
Ideally, we recommend keeping the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch at all times to prevent the candle from emitting smoke or the wick falling into the wax.
After each burn, see that the wick is centered in the wax. This will also ensure that the glass does not overheat. The wick and flame should never be touching the glass. When approaching the end of the candle, leave ¼ inch of wax unburned and ensure you are not burning the candle for more than 3 hours. The glass can get overheated without the presence of wax and break.
