Myrtle & Moss The Botanical Candle Collection: FLUME — A Forest-Fresh Scent Experience in a Reusable Ceramic Vessel
For those who find solace in nature, FLUME delivers the damp coolness of a eucalyptus gully and the bright, medicinal lift of lemon-scented tea tree — anchored by the powdery sweetness of flowering gum. Hand-poured into a tactile ceramic pot in a signature dusty blush finish, this is a candle that earns its place on a shelf long after the last flicker. A 70-hour burn time and a considered second life as a planter or vessel make it as thoughtful as it is beautiful.
| Ingredient | INCI Name | Concentration | Function | Skin Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soy Wax | Glycine Soja (Soybean) Wax | High | Carrier / Burn Base | Clean-burning, renewable wax base; lower soot emission than paraffin |
| Eucalyptus | Eucalyptus spp. Fragrance / Essential Oil | Mid | Aromatic / Top Note | Cool, camphorous lift; known for clarity-promoting and invigorating aromatherapy associations |
| Flowering Gum | Corymbia ficifolia Fragrance | Mid | Aromatic / Heart Note | Soft floral sweetness; evokes native Australian botanicals |
| Lemon-Scented Tea Tree | Leptospermum petersonii Fragrance / Essential Oil | Mid | Aromatic / Base-Top Bridge | Bright citrus-green accord; associated with cleansing and uplifting atmospheric effects |
FLUME is built on a soy wax base, chosen for its slower, cooler burn rate, which allows fragrance compounds to diffuse gradually and sustain scent throw across the full 70-hour burn time. The trio of Australian botanicals — flowering gum, eucalyptus, and lemon-scented tea tree — creates a layered olfactory arc: bright citrus and medicinal green on the top, softening into a powdery floral heart as the wax pool deepens. Regular wick trimming maintains an even flame, preventing excessive heat that would accelerate fragrance volatilisation and reduce longevity.
- Those seeking an immersive Australian native botanical fragrance experience at home
- Sustainability-conscious consumers who value zero-waste, repurposable vessel design
- Gifting occasions where aesthetic presentation — dusty blush ceramic, long burn time — is as important as scent
