Nobody warns you that the best joke about retirement is also the most accurate one. "Retirement: The Pay Sucks, But The Hours Are Really Good" gets said at every send-off, and now it gets said on a shelf.

The Signature White version, poured with 60+ hours of Bamboo Forest. Office parties, a retirement card, a colleague finally taking the package: this is the one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a good retirement gift for under thirty dollars?
A: A full-size scented jar with a saying on it looks considered without putting anyone in an awkward position. A group collection stretches further on one good thing than several small ones.

Q: Does a white label suit a house that is not modern?
A: A plain white printed label reads as neutral rather than contemporary, so it sits as easily on an old dresser as a new shelf.

Q: Is a woody scent right for a bathroom?
A: Bamboo and cypress work well in a bathroom because they read as clean rather than perfumed, and the small space suits a lighter scent. Give it half an hour rather than a whole evening.

Q: What actually makes soy wax better than paraffin here?
A: Soy is plant based, burns cooler and slower, and releases fragrance without the petroleum residue paraffin leaves on glass.

Q: Can two candles be burned in the same room?
A: Two of the same scent is fine, and one green with one sweet also works if they are at opposite ends of the room. Two strong sweet scents together is the combination to avoid.

Q: Why does wax sometimes cling to the sides of the glass?
A: That is tunnelling, and it starts on the very first burn if the melt pool never reaches the edge. Give the first burn three hours and the problem never begins.
