Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does Wild Huckleberry smell like?
A: Huckleberry is a dark, slightly tart berry, and here it sits over Tahitian vanilla with lemon zest lifting the top. It is fruity without tipping into candy.

Q: Which scent suits somebody who likes fruity candles?
A: Huckleberry with vanilla is the fruit scent that most people take to, because the vanilla stops it going sharp. Citrus-led scents are the alternative if they prefer something cleaner.

Q: Is a berry scent too feminine for a mixed household?
A: Huckleberry reads more like dark fruit than like a floral, so it works in a shared house better than most sweet scents. It is warm rather than pretty.

Q: Can this be given at a retirement party in front of everyone?
A: The saying is a joke about the working week rather than about the person, so it reads out loud without any risk. It is the safest kind of funny for a room.

Q: How soon before the party should I buy it?
A: Any time — soy keeps its fragrance for a year or more somewhere cool and dark. Buying early is the only way to avoid picking from whatever is left.

Q: Does the wax level show through the jar?
A: The glass is clear with the label printed on the front, so the wax is visible around it as it burns down. That is part of why the white label looks clean rather than busy.
