A hand-poured French lavender candle that smells like the living plant: green lavender, peppermint, and spearmint over soft woods. 6oz jelly jar, 30-hour burn.
You walk through a lavender farm in Provence and crush a few stems between your fingers. That oil on your hands, earthy and clean and green, is what this smells like.
French Lavender isn’t grandma’s lavender sachet. It smells like lavender in flower with fresh mint running through it. Peppermint and spearmint, not toothpaste. There’s wood underneath, patchouli and soft musk, that keeps it grounded. Lily and green herb stems add freshness without being sharp.
People who say they don’t like lavender scented candles because they smell “old” burn this one. It smells like a garden, not a closet.
Keep one on the nightstand and one at the desk.
How to Use: Trim the wick to ¼ inch before every light. Let the wax melt edge to edge on the first burn, about an hour, to prevent tunneling. Keep individual burns to 1.5 hours maximum and let the candle cool completely before moving it. When roughly ½ inch of wax remains, retire the candle, wash the jar with hot soapy water, and put it to use.

Only the vessel and the burn time. The wax, the cotton wick, and the fragrance are identical. The Luxe is a 10oz smoke-tinted glass tumbler with our custom Bee Inspired emblem and about a 75-hour burn. The jelly jar is 6oz with about a 30-hour burn.
A few reasons we hear consistently. Lavender is a scent almost no one dislikes, especially a fresh-garden version rather than a dried-sachet one. The 75-hour size is practical for people who light a candle every evening, because a daily habit burns through a 6oz jelly jar fast. And the scent works in nearly every room. It is a low-risk pick if you’re new to our candles and a reliable repeat purchase if you’re not.
Bedrooms and nightstands first. It is one of our most popular bedroom candles. After that, bathrooms, home offices, and living rooms. The mint keeps the lavender from going heavy or cloying, so it works in small rooms as well as large ones. Customers tell us they keep one on the nightstand and one at the desk.
Green, herbal lavender with peppermint and spearmint through the middle, a touch of lily, and patchouli and soft woods underneath. It is the same fragrance as our 6oz French Lavender, so if you know the jelly jar, you know this one.
The vessel and the burn time. Both are the same soy wax, the same cotton wick, and the same fragrance. This one is a 6oz glass jelly jar with a metal lid and about a 30-hour burn. French Lavender Luxe is a 10oz smoke glass tumbler with about a 75-hour burn. Start with the jelly jar if you are new to the scent. Move to the Luxe if you burn it most nights.
About 30 hours for the 6oz jelly jar. To get the full 30, keep individual burns to 1.5 hours maximum and trim the cotton wick to ¼ inch before every light. Retire the candle when roughly ½ inch of wax remains in the jar.
100% American-grown soy wax, a phthalate-free fragrance oil, and a 100% cotton wick. Soy burns cleaner than paraffin. There are no dyes, no synthetic colors, and no phthalates. Every batch is hand-poured in our Owings Mills, Maryland facility and inspected before it ships.
Three things make the biggest difference. First, trim the cotton wick to ¼ inch before every light. Long wicks cause smoke and uneven burning. Second, on your first burn, let the wax pool reach the edges of the jar, about an hour, so the candle doesn’t tunnel down the middle. Third, keep individual burns to 1.5 hours maximum and let the candle cool completely before moving it. Burn on a heat-safe surface, away from drafts, pets, and anything flammable.
Reuse it. Once the wax is gone, wash the 6oz jelly jar with hot soapy water and put it back to work. It’s the right size for sugar, tea bags, paper clips, hair ties, bobby pins, spare buttons, loose change, jewelry, or a tea light. Some customers use them as bud vases or tiny salt cellars on the kitchen counter. We’re not big on single-use anything, and the jars are too solid to throw out.
