Ember Shade’s Ponk Collection Gate Drop - Mandarin, Lemon, Pineapple, Fresh Grass, Vanilla, Musk

 

🏁Gate Drop Wood Wick Candle

There’s a moment right before the gate drops —

hands gripping grips, heart in your throat, muscles tight, mind racing. The noise fades, the world narrows, and everything comes down to timing, focus, and pure adrenaline.

Gate Drop captures that electric tension — the nerves, the excitement, the rush that hits as riders roll into staging and clip in. It’s for the riders shaking out their arms, the parents holding their breath in the stands, and the teams that live for the launch.

Scent Profile:

🍊 Mandarin

🍋 Lemon

🍍 Pineapple

🌿 Fresh Grass

🍦 Vanilla

🌙 Musk

Bright citrus and pineapple hit first — sharp and energizing — followed by fresh grass and grounded warmth, mirroring the surge of adrenaline and the calm focus needed when the gate finally drops.

 

 

Why a Wood Wick? Our natural wood wicks offer a soft crackle — grounding and steady, like controlled breathing at the gate. It’s the balance between nerves and focus, excitement and control.

 

Wood Wick Care (Important ✨)

 

 

 

To get the best burn from your Ember Shade candle:

Do:

• Trim your wood wick to ¼ inch before each burn
• Allow the wax to melt fully edge-to-edge on the first burn
• Burn for 2–4 hours max at a time

 

Do NOT:

• Do not allow the wick to grow too long — this can cause flickering or soot
• Do not burn longer than 4 hours
• Do not move the candle while lit
• Never leave burning unattended

 

Proper care ensures a clean burn, strong scent throw, and a consistent flame.
