Backhouse Mr. Douglas Candle

No. The Mr. Douglas candle is specifically formulated to avoid that harsh, chemical pine smell. By blending pineberry with cypress and cedar, it creates a softer, more balanced fragrance that leans into a refined woodsy profile rather than a sharp, needle-like scent.

This candle uses a proprietary blend of coconut and vegetable waxes. This combination is chosen for its clean-burning properties, which, when paired with the lead-free wick, minimizes soot and ensures a consistent, even burn.

You can expect a burn time of 70+ hours. To maximize this, we recommend trimming the wick to 1/4 inch before every lighting and allowing the wax pool to reach the edges of the glass during the first burn.

While the evergreen notes are perfect for winter, the scent profile is sophisticated enough for year-round use. The addition of pineberry provides a subtle sweetness that makes it feel less like a seasonal decoration and more like a grounding, ambient fragrance for any time of year.

Yes. Once the wax is fully consumed, you can clean out the remaining residue with warm, soapy water. The signature hurricane glass is durable and makes for a versatile vessel for small plants, desk supplies, or vanity storage.
