Heretic Parfum The Entomologist Candle

These candles rely on a potent blend of essential oils—including cedar, geranium, thyme, rosemary, lemongrass, peppermint, cinnamon, and clove—that are naturally known to deter biting insects. By diffusing these botanical scents into the air, they create a protective barrier that makes your immediate area less appealing to pests.

While the formula is 100% natural and free from DEET and synthetic toxins, it is still a concentrated essential oil product. We recommend using them in well-ventilated outdoor areas and keeping them out of reach of children and pets, just as you would with any burning candle.

Each 4oz candle features a 2-wick design, which helps it burn evenly and efficiently. While exact burn time depends on wind conditions and outdoor temperature, you can expect a substantial burn time suitable for multiple evenings of outdoor relaxation.

These are specifically formulated and intended for outdoor use as an insect repellent. While the herbal scent is pleasant, the concentration of essential oils is designed to be effective in open-air environments rather than enclosed indoor spaces.

The Entomologist Candle is crafted with soy wax. This choice ensures a cleaner, more consistent burn compared to paraffin alternatives, which aligns with the brand's commitment to a natural, toxin-free experience.

Yes, being EPA compliant means this product meets specific safety and efficacy standards for insect repellents. It provides peace of mind that the formula has been vetted for safety and performance in its intended use.
