If you've ever stuck your nose into a sun-warmed tomato plant and thought "yes, this is it, this is the smell" — this candle is for you. Bright, green, and genuinely garden-fresh, with lemon and eucalyptus up top and sage and basil at the base. Unexpected. Completely addictive.
Part of the Paddywax Bistro Collection — hand-illustrated tin with a faux sardine-tin pull-tab. A wonderful gift for the gardener, the cook, and the person who takes the farmers market a little too seriously (affectionately).

Reusable Candle Tins
These candles are intentionally designed to have a second life once the wax is gone. The tins are hand-illustrated, on-trend, and built to be repurposed — as a succulent planter, a pencil cup, a bathroom canister, a catch-all on your desk, or anything else your imagination lands on. Every candle starts with a story, a vessel, and a scent crafted to match. Soy wax blend, cotton wicks, no shortcuts.
Candle Care
For the best burn, let the candle run for 3–4 hours the first time so the wax pool reaches the edges of the tin — this prevents tunneling. Trim the wick to 1/4" before each burn. When you're ready to repurpose the tin, either pop it in the freezer overnight (the wax will lift right out) or run hot water in to melt and scoop out the remainder.
Candle Safety
Before burning: Trim the wick to 1/4" each time — long or crooked wicks cause uneven burning. Place on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Keep the wax pool clear of wick trimmings, matches, and debris.
While burning: Never touch or move a burning candle. Keep it in sight at all times — if you leave the room, blow it out first. Do not burn longer than 4 hours at a time.
When extinguishing: Use a candle snuffer to avoid hot wax splatter. Make sure the candle is fully extinguished before leaving the room. Don't touch until completely cooled.
