Motor City Candle Co. Oil Can Candle

Yes, the metal oil cans are designed to be repurposed. Once the wax is gone, you can clean out the remaining residue with warm, soapy water and use the container as a desk organizer, planter, or decorative storage piece.

The fragrance profiles are specifically curated to be earthy and masculine. You will primarily find notes like leather, cedar, sandalwood, and moss, which are designed to provide a grounding, subtle aroma rather than an overpowering floral or sweet scent.

These candles use a vegan-friendly soy wax blend and essential oils, which generally burn cleaner than paraffin alternatives. However, because they contain essential oils, we recommend burning them in a well-ventilated area, especially if you have pets or sensitivities to strong fragrances.

Soy wax burns at a lower temperature and more slowly than paraffin, which typically results in a longer burn time. It also produces significantly less soot, keeping your space cleaner and ensuring the fragrance remains consistent throughout the life of the candle.

No, each candle is handmade in Detroit, which means there may be slight variations in the finish or placement of the labels. These small differences are part of the industrial aesthetic and reflect the authentic craftsmanship of the product.
