Most vanilla candles go dessert. Most citrus candles go cleaning aisle. Vanilla+Citrus Luxe lands between them — warm and bright at the same time.
Picture peeling an orange next to someone splitting a vanilla bean — bright citrus oil hitting the air at the same time the warm vanilla scent comes through. That contrast is the whole candle.
Vanilla+Citrus Luxe smells like that moment. Real vanilla bean, fresh orange, ripe nectarine, a thread of coconut, soft florals underneath. Not bakery sweet. Not air-freshener sharp. Actual vanilla and actual citrus, side by side.
This is the bigger version of our Vanilla+Citrus jelly jar candle. Same scent, lasts 75 hours instead of 30.
For nightly burners who don't want to replace a jar every three weeks.
How to burn: Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn. Let the first burn go until the wax melts all the way to the edges — about 90 minutes. That prevents tunneling on every burn after.
Don't burn it for more than 3 hours at a time. Let it cool completely before moving it. Keep it away from kitchen towels, recipe cards, anything that could catch fire, and don't leave it burning when you're not in the room.
When there's about 1/2 inch of wax left, stop burning it. Wash the tumbler with hot soapy water and use it for something else — it's good glass.

Vanilla+Citrus smells like spilling vanilla extract on the counter next to a bowl of oranges — warm vanilla cut through with bright citrus. The scent is built around real vanilla bean (not bakery-frosting vanilla), with orange and nectarine running across the top and soft florals underneath that keep it from feeling one-dimensional. Coconut at the base adds cream without veering into sunscreen territory. A returning customer described it as "happy and calming" — sweet without being dessert, bright without being cleaning product. It's a quiet, consistent scent that doesn't announce itself from three rooms away.
Year-round. The citrus might suggest summer at first glance, but Vanilla+Citrus Luxe is one of our most adaptable scents. The vanilla and coconut at the base give it warmth that holds up in fall and winter; the orange and nectarine on top keep it fresh in spring and summer. Customers burn it in kitchens (where the food-adjacent notes layer naturally), bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices — pretty much anywhere they spend time. Light it morning or evening, January or July. It adapts to the day.
Same scent, different size and vessel. The Jelly Jar is 6oz, $18, and burns about 30 hours in a simple glass jar. Luxe is 10oz, $35, burns about 75 hours, and comes in a smoke-tinted glass tumbler with our custom Bee Inspired emblem — polished enough to stay visible on an entryway table, kitchen counter, or living room shelf.
Our 10oz Luxe candles have about a 75-hour burn time when burned properly. The biggest factor is the first burn — let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the tumbler (about 90 minutes) before blowing it out, or the candle will tunnel and waste a lot of wax. With a clean first burn and proper wick trimming, 75 hours is realistic. Retire the candle when about ½ inch of wax remains in the tumbler.
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 tumbler (about 90 minutes) so the candle doesn't tunnel. Third, keep individual burns to 3 hours maximum and let the candle cool completely before moving it. Burn on a heat-safe surface, away from drafts, pets, and anything flammable. Retire the candle when about ½ inch of wax remains.
Yes. Our Luxe candles are made with 100% American-grown soy wax, a phthalate-free fragrance oil, and a 100% cotton wick. Soy burns cleaner than paraffin — no soot ring on your ceiling, no petrochemicals released into the air. 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. Safe to burn in kitchens, bedrooms, home offices, or any room you actually spend time in.
Reuse it. Once the wax is gone, wash the smoke-tinted glass tumbler with hot soapy water and put it back to work. The tumbler features our custom Bee Inspired emblem and is polished enough to keep visible — customers use them as catchalls for jewelry, makeup brushes, pens, or as small bud vases. The 10oz vessel is bigger and more decorative than our jelly jars, so it tends to find a permanent second life. We're not big on single-use anything, and these are too good to toss.
