Alder Candle - palo santo, sandalwood

I generally gravitate towards more floral/bright scents, but was in the mood for something musky and earthy. This fit the bill perfectly! It's not overpowering, but wonderfully deep and rich with some bright notes at the top. Perfect for getting grounded and relaxing in the evening.

I love all the scents I have bought with WILDWOOD CANCLE, but this one is my favorite!

I bought one of these at a shop in Astoria—it smells great and I was excited to light it. Sadly, there appear to be big gaps in the wax around the wood wick. The initial wax that melted around the top of the wick slipped down into them, leaving the wick with no wax touching it and nothing to burn, self extinguishing after ~2 total minutes lit.

I'll try re-lighting it, but since the wick is now below most of the rest of the wax I'm pretty sure it'll drown itself on the next light.

Disappointing construction quality—I was really looking forward to this one based on the smell.

This is one of my most favorite candle scents of all time ever! It's THE perfect palo santo woodsy scent. It's so calming and the perfect level of scent. Highly recommend!!

This candle is dreamy and beautiful. It starts off light but gradually fills the room. I'm the type that's sensitive to strong scents and odors, and I tend to shy away from things with overpowering fragrances as they can give me a headache after a while. As far as I know, Wildwood Candles have never made me feel bad. That's not to say that the scents are subtle, either. Rather they're JUST right. If you are a fan of wood scents, their entire line up is amazing. I love gifting the travel candles as well, everyone always really loves them. Alder is worth the price to me, and even though I'll be moving out of the country this year, I plan to still buy this candle for the rest of my life if I can! Just probably in bigger batches. :) + Wildwood customer service is also excellent, as far as I've experienced.
