Ember Shade Wild Teak - Teakwood, Lavender, Sandalwood, Bergamot, Woods

Wild Teak — Ember Shade Candle

Earthy • Woodsy • Comforting

Step into the stillness of a wooded trail, where cool air moves through the trees and the familiar scent of timber invites you to pause.

Wild Teak is a bold blend of rugged woods and soft herbal notes. Fresh citrus zest and subtle lavender introduce the fragrance, followed by warm sandalwood and smooth bergamot. Deep teakwood and rich forest woods create a lasting foundation with warmth, depth, and quiet confidence.

Poured in white wax, Wild Teak brings a little woodland atmosphere to your everyday ritual.

The Ritual: Steel & Smoke

Grounding • Protection • Clarity • Strength

Wild Teak is an invitation to find your footing, honor your boundaries, and approach your next step with intention.

For this ritual, let teakwood and forest woods symbolize steady roots and resilience. Sandalwood can represent reflection, lavender a gentler pace, and citrus and bergamot a fresh perspective. Let steel symbolize the boundaries you choose to hold, and smoke the things you are ready to release.

Place your candle on a level, heat-resistant surface. Take three slow breaths and choose an intention—steadiness, clarity, confidence, or protecting time for yourself.

Light the candle and say:

“Rooted like wood and steady as steel,
I make space to pause and feel.
I release what is beyond my hold,
And trust the path I choose to unfold.”

Spend a few quiet moments considering what is within your control. Write down one thing you are ready to set aside and one action that would help you feel more supported.

That might mean stepping away from your phone, setting a boundary around your time, organizing your thoughts, or allowing yourself to rest before making a decision.

Use this ritual after a demanding day, during journaling or meditation, before beginning focused work, or whenever you want a quiet moment to reconnect with your priorities.

Approximate burn times depend on proper candle care. Keep your wood wick trimmed before every burn to encourage an even, consistent burn. Wick maintenance, burn length, drafts, and room conditions can affect how quickly your candle uses wax.

Wood Wick Care & Candle Safety

Before lighting, make sure the wax is cool and firm. Trim the wood wick to approximately ⅛–¼ inch, removing loose charred pieces and keeping the wax free of debris. For candles with multiple wicks, trim and light every wick.

Hold the lighter at the base of the wood wick until it catches. During the first burn, allow the melt pool to spread toward the edges, without exceeding four hours.

Burn for 2–4 hours at a time, on a level, heat-resistant surface away from drafts. Let the candle cool completely before trimming, moving, or relighting.

Stop using the candle when approximately ½ inch of wax remains.

Never leave a burning candle unattended or burn while sleeping. Keep away from children, pets, curtains, and anything flammable. Do not touch or move a hot vessel, add water or other materials to the wax, or use the lid to extinguish the flame. Extinguish the candle if the flame becomes unusually high or produces persistent smoke.

How to Use the Ritual Melt

Remove the cap and squeeze a small amount into a warmer dish designed for wax melts. Start small and stay within your warmer’s capacity. Replace the pouch cap after use and follow the warmer manufacturer’s instructions.

When finished, switch off and unplug an electric warmer. Allow the wax and dish to cool completely. Once cool, wipe the soft wax out with a paper towel and dispose of it in the trash.

Do not add water, light the wax directly, heat the pouch, or pour wax down a drain. Keep away from children and pets. Do not ingest or apply to skin. Never touch hot wax, move a hot warmer, or leave it unattended while operating.
