“Smells absolutely AMAZING, and pairs very well with the French Lavender Candle to create such a calming environment.”
Winter Forest Luxe smells like actual evergreens — fir balsam and pine resin with real green bite, warmed up with cinnamon, clove, and orange peel cutting through. The larger pour of our Winter Forest jelly jar, sized for 75 hours of burn time instead of 30.
Walk through a pine forest in December and break a branch off a fir tree. That sharp green smell mixed with cold air—that's the base of this candle. Then someone's baking something with cinnamon and orange peel nearby.
Winter Forest Luxe smells like actual evergreens, not Christmas tree air freshener. There's pine and fir balsam with real resin bite. Cinnamon, clove, nutmeg warming it up. Orange cutting through the green. It's woods plus kitchen, outside plus inside.
This is the bigger version of our Winter Forest jelly jar candle. Same scent, lasts 75 hours instead of 30.
Well-loved by the writers at the Washingtonian Magazine.
A better gift option than the jelly jar when you want something that looks like it took thought.
How to Use: Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn. Let the wax melt edge to edge on that first burn — about 90 minutes — to prevent tunneling. Keep individual burns to 3 hours maximum and let the candle cool completely before moving it. When roughly ½ inch of wax remains, retire the candle, wash the tumbler with hot soapy water, and put it to use.

Winter Forest smells like breaking off a fir branch on a cold December walk — pine and fir balsam with real resin bite, plus warm baking spice running underneath. The base is forest pine and fir, layered with cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg for warmth, and orange peel cutting through the green to keep things bright. Apartment Therapy's testers picked up on the smokiness and called the fragrance "complex." Customers consistently report that the scent throw is unusually strong for a 6oz candle — one wrote that a single jar smells up an entire apartment. It's woods plus kitchen, outside plus inside, and a real winter forest rather than a Christmas-tree air freshener.
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.
Yes — Winter Forest Luxe is one of our strongest winter gifts. The pine-and-spice scent is instantly seasonal without feeling cliché, the Washingtonian Magazine press mention adds credibility for someone you don't know well, and the smoke-tinted vessel reads as a real present rather than a stocking stuffer. It's the upgrade pick when you want a holiday gift that looks like it took thought — hostess gifts, milestone occasions, and anyone whose December needs a little forest in it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
