CILANTRO LIME RICE - CANDLE TIN
Scent Description
Gather around a bustling cocina at dinnertime, where the soul of Latin cooking comes alive. Cilantro lime rice or “arroz con cilantro y limón” steams in a well-worn pot, the kind passed down through generations, seasoned by a thousand family meals. This is the foundation of every celebration, the comfort that accompanies every main course, the aroma that signals "you're home."
In Latin American kitchens cilantro feels like the herb of love. Abuela's hands move instinctively, chopping fresh cilantro without measuring, squeezing lime without counting. The scent rises like a prayer, mingling with laughter, stories told in Spanglish, and the clatter of plates being set for one more person porque siempre hay espacio.
Our Cilantro Lime Rice candle captures this vibrant ritual in fragrance. Fresh cilantro meets bright, zesty lime and warm, fluffy rice, evoking the heart of family gatherings where food is connected and every meal is made with amor. It's the scent of Sunday dinners that last until midnight, of kitchens where everyone congregates, of traditions kept alive through the simple act of cooking together.
This candle transforms any space into that beloved cocina where recipes need no written instructions, where the best conversations happen over simmering pots, and where the familiar green herb carries generations of memory.

Care Instructions
Before the first light:
- Make sure you have 3-4 hours available for the candle to burn while attended. We know it is exciting to want to light your candle right away, but this is the most important step!
- Coconut Soy candle wax has what’s called a "memory." That means that when you burn a coconut soy candle and then extinguish it, the next time you burn it, the coconut soy candle wax will melt across as far as it did the first time. This is why it is so important to allow coconut soy candles to burn all the way across to the edge of the container the first time you burn it before putting it out. This ensures that your soy candle does not “tunnel” as it burns, leaving wax along the sides of the container. A good rule of thumb is to burn your candle 1 hour for every inch wide that the candle is. So if you have a 3-inch wide coconut soy candle, you may need to burn it for at least 3 hours for a good melt pool.
- Keep your wick trimmed to .5 cm before every burn for even burning and to avoid unnecessary smoke and overheating. Occasionally, wick breakage can occur. This is okay and simply means that there is a build-up of carbon or a draft.
- Never burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
- Do not allow wick trimmings to fall into wax, as this can create a fire hazard.
- Always burn your candle within sight and away from drafts, including but not limited to: open windows, A/C units, and heaters.
- Stop burning when there is ½” of wax remaining. If misused, the glass may shatter.
- Keep away from children, pets, and flammable objects.
