Illume Blackberry Absinthe Scented Tin Candle 11.8 oz — Vegan, Long-Burn Soy Blend

Illume's Blackberry Absinthe Vanity Tin is an 11.8-ounce plant-based scented candle that marries sultry liquid amber, petal-soft jasmine, and a veil of ripe berries for a long-burning, vegan fragrance experience.

This compact tin candle is designed for everyday luxury: a soy-blend wax formulated for a cleaner burn, a fragrance profile that layers warm resinous notes with floral and fruity accents, and a durable tin that fits on vanities, shelves, or travel kits. Poured in the USA, the candle offers up to 50 hours of burn time and comes from Illume’s Beautifully Done Essentials line, which focuses on approachable yet refined scents.

What does the scent of Blackberry Absinthe smell like?

The fragrance opens on a lush mix of ripe berries softened by a petal-like jasmine heart, then settles into a warm, amber base with a faint green, aniseed-inspired lift. It reads as both fruity and slightly boozy at first, with an elegant floral center and grounding resinous finish.

• Top: fresh blackberry and bright berry vapor
• Heart: soft jasmine petals and floral warmth
• Base: sultry liquid amber with a subtle herbal lift
• Overall: layered, balanced, neither too sweet nor overwhelmingly floral

How long will the 11.8 oz tin burn and how should I use it safely?

This Illume tin delivers up to 50 hours of burn time when used according to best practices. Keep the wick trimmed, burn on a heat-resistant surface, and allow a full melt pool during each use to prevent tunneling and extend candle life.

• Approximate burn time: up to 50 hours
• Wick care: trim to 1/4 inch before each lighting
• Burning tips: always place on a stable, heat-safe surface and never leave unattended
• Maintenance: extinguish before wax reaches the tin edge to protect surfaces

What is the wax blend and are there any animal-derived ingredients?

• Wax: plant-based soy blend
• Vegan: no animal ingredients
• Cruelty-free: not tested on animals
• Poured: made in the USA
