Oh, Christmas tree.. this natural soy wax candle smells just like one! That's because it's made with fir needles freshly harvested at Bedrock Christmas Tree Farm in Rhode Island along with their fir needle powder, pure essential oils, and a naturally derived fragrance. The "Christmas tree scent" you love in other candles is actually the real deal in this one. Needles are trimmed from Bedrock trees' sheared branches to create the totally authentic, 100% Non-GMO, clean-burning candles. If you are wondering what they smell like, pinch the fir needles on a Christmas tree and take a big whiff.. that's it! The crackling, wood wick is reminiscent of the sound a cozy little fire makes. Hello, charming New England Christmas! 

Bedrock Tree Farm fir needle products were developed out of their desire to find a use for the endless fir needle branches that are sheared to the ground and left to turn to mulch. They felt such incredibly healthy, succulent needles could be recycled and used for our benefit and enjoyment year round. I discovered their candles in a record and crystal shop on Cape when I moved here in 2014 and fell in love with them. 

Remember: never leave a candle unattended.

When you light a Bedrock Tree Farm wooden wick, always use a lighter (not a match) and hold the flame at the base of the wick to get the wax started melting around the wood. ALWAYS let candle burn long enough to get a pool of melted wax across the surface of the entire candle (approx. 1 hour). You should achieve this with every burn for best results and to avoid tunneling (common waste of wax).

Before the next lighting gently scrape the top ridge of the wick with a wick dipper or non-flammable tool to remove the charred wood. In
some cases if the flame isn’t vigorous enough for you, remove a small amount of wax to allow more wood to be exposed and you will get that bigger flame.

After each burn, you can wrap a damp paper towel around a tool and wipe the inside of the jar clean for a clear view of the next burn.
