The Black Dog Candle Co. Candle

The Cranberry Balsam blend is designed to be balanced rather than overwhelming. While it provides a noticeable fragrance, the woodsy balsam notes ground the tart cranberry, making it suitable for smaller spaces like bedrooms or home offices without becoming cloying.

Soy wax is generally cleaner-burning than paraffin, but it does benefit from proper maintenance. To ensure an even burn and prevent tunneling, always trim the wick to about a quarter-inch before each use and let the candle burn long enough for the wax pool to reach the edges of the glass.

It is a true hybrid fragrance. The cranberry provides a bright, slightly sweet top note that hits you immediately, while the balsam fir acts as a crisp, earthy base that lingers. It avoids smelling like artificial candy by leaning heavily into the natural, resinous quality of the fir.

Yes, the glass container is designed to be repurposed. Once the wax is fully consumed, you can easily clean out the remaining residue with warm, soapy water to use the jar for storage or as a small decorative vessel.

Because this candle uses a soy wax formulation, it produces significantly less soot than traditional paraffin candles. Keeping the wick trimmed to the recommended length will further minimize any potential smoke or residue.
