Archipelago Botanicals Black Forest Letter Press Candle, 13 oz — Matte Black Soy, Up to 100-Hour Burn

The Archipelago Botanicals Black Forest Letter Press Candle is a 13 oz handcrafted soy wax candle scented with dark ebony wood, Douglas fir, and black currant for a long-burning, sophisticated home fragrance.

This matte black, leather-wrapped candle combines a refined silhouette with a complex, nature-inspired scent profile. Hand-poured in the USA from a premium soy wax blend and infused with fine fragrance and essential oils, it features two lead-free wicks designed to deliver up to 100 hours of steady, even burn time. The understated design complements moody interiors while the layered scent evokes a walk through dense forest and berry-bright air.

What does the Black Forest scent smell like?

The aroma balances the deep warmth of ebony and the crisp green of Douglas fir with a bright, fruity edge from black currant. It’s layered rather than one-note: woody base tones are softened by resinous evergreen and accented by subtle sweet-tart fruit that lifts the composition.

• Top: black currant adds a fruity, slightly tart lift
• Middle: Douglas fir brings a fresh, resinous green quality
• Base: dark ebony wood gives a warm, grounding, elegant finish
• Scent intensity: moderate to strong, suitable for medium rooms

How should I burn and care for this candle to get the best life?

Trim both wicks to 1/4 inch before each use and allow the wax to melt to the jar edges on the first burn to prevent tunneling. Keep it on a heat-safe surface, out of drafts, and extinguish before leaving the room.

• Wick care: trim to ¼ inch before every lighting
• First burn: allow a full melt pool to the jar rim
• Safety: place on nonflammable surface and away from drafts
• Storage: keep lid on or store in a cool, dry place when unused

This candle is crafted from a blended soy wax and infused with carefully selected fragrance and essential oils. It contains two lead-free wicks and is sized at 13 ounces, with an estimated burn time of up to 100 hours under proper use.
