How to Warm

How to Use: Sprinkle incense on incense holder. Light tealight candle. Find a comfortable spot, take a deep, intentional breath, and let the peaceful atmosphere surround you.

Safety: Only compatible with standard sized tealight candles. We do not recommend beeswax candles as beeswax burns at a higher temperature and is not suitable for our delicate incense blends. Find our favorite plant-based tealights here.

Scent & Use

A little goes a long way. Use about one teaspoon of incense each time you warm the blend. One container provides at least 20 uses, with each tealight session releasing a gentle room scent for up to about 4 hours.
