Happy Candle
Specifications
Happy is sweet orange and warm light, the smell of fruit ripening on the branch. Sweet orange and bergamot, Citrus bergamia, with may chang, lemongrass and a finish of ylang ylang. The second blend Emily ever made, after Soothe, in summer, from a memory of the Sicilian orange groves at golden hour, the air thick with citrus and the day going amber. Soy wax. Cotton wick. Hand-poured. Around 50 hours, 20 for the mini and 80 for the three-wick.
The mood lifts.
Five essential oils. Every one named.
Single-origin, sourced from the grower who knows them best. No carriers, no extenders, no synthetic fragrance.

How to burn Happy Candle.
A candle is only as good as the way it's burned. Four steps, the same for every Yougi vessel.
-
Trim the wick.
Before every burn, trim to a centimetre. A shorter wick prevents soot and smoke, and the flame runs clean.
-
Let the wax pool.
On the first burn, let the wax reach the edge of the vessel before you put it out. Two to four hours. This prevents tunnelling and protects your hours of burn.
-
Burn in sessions.
Two to four hours at a time. Let it rest between burns: the scent needs the pause.
-
Retire gracefully.
When the wax falls below a centimetre, stop burning. Send us the empty vessel and we'll refill it for thirty percent less than a new candle.

The same scent where it is made, and the nearest to it where it is not.
