In the Woods | Autumn Woods & Orchard Scented Soy Candle with Botanical Toppers
Details
Step out of your front door and into a crisp autumn forest. Our In the Woods candle captures that magical moment of walking through a sun-dappled grove with dry leaves crunching underfoot. It’s a nostalgic scent that carries the faint, comforting smoke of a distant fireplace and the sweet, lingering fragrance of a nearby apple orchard.
Hand-poured into eco-friendly recycled glass, each candle is topped with real dried botanicals to bring the raw beauty of the outdoors directly to your mantel or bedside table.

Candle Care (The Forest Guide)
- The First Burn: To prevent "tunneling," ensure the wax melts to the very edge of the jar during your first light.
- Wick Maintenance: Trim the wick to 1/4" before every use to keep the flame steady and soot-free.
- Botanical Note: If the decorative botanicals drift too close to the flame, gently move them toward the edge or remove them with tweezers before lighting.
- Repurpose: Once your candle has finished its journey, the recycled glass jar can be easily cleaned and reused as a rustic vase or storage jar.

2. Estimated Shipping Rates (Domestic US)
Shipping is calculated at checkout based on total weight and destination. Here is a general guide:

3. Delivery Estimates
Once your order leaves our Texas studio, standard shipping typically takes 3–7 business days to arrive, depending on your location.
4. The "Summer Melt" Policy
Soy wax is natural and has a lower melting point than paraffin. During hot summer months, soy candles can "sweat" or soften if left in a hot mailbox or on a porch for too long.
- Pro Tip: Please try to retrieve your package as soon as it arrives.
- If your candle feels soft, let it sit at room temperature for a few hours before lighting. This is a natural characteristic of eco-friendly wax and does not affect the scent or quality!
5. Tracking Your Magic
The moment your candles are on their way, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number. You can track the order directly from the carrier's website.

Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you. If approved, your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your original method of payment account within 3-5 business days.
5. Scent Disclaimer
Choosing scents online can be tricky! While we do our best to describe our fragrances accurately, everyone’s nose is a little different. We do not offer refunds if you simply don't "like" the scent after the candle has been lit.
- Pro Tip: If you’re unsure, start with our 4 oz jars before committing to a larger centerpiece!
