Lavender Lilac Ceramic Candle: Two Purple Flowers, One Spring Breeze Save

In Michigan, the first lilac bloom is the unofficial announcement that winter has finally lost. Our Lavender Lilac Ceramic Candle pairs that sweet, powdery lilac with clean, herbal lavender, so you can have the open-window feeling of a May afternoon without waiting for May.

A floral that stays soft

Some floral candles hit you at the door. This one is quieter. Lilac brings the sweetness and a powdery, almost nostalgic note, while lavender adds a clean herbal edge so the blend never turns perfumey. It is the candle we suggest for people who say they do not usually like floral scents, and for anyone who already loves both flowers and refuses to choose.

Because it is gentle, it works in small rooms where a stronger candle can feel crowded: a bedroom, a bathroom, a reading corner. In a large, open living room, the 12 oz size gives the scent more room to travel.

The first burn sets the tone

Wax has a memory. On the very first burn, give the candle enough time for the melted pool to reach the edges of the vessel, which usually takes a couple of hours. Blow it out early and it tends to tunnel down the middle from then on. After that:

  • Trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before each burn.
  • Keep it away from fans, open windows and vents so the flame stays steady.
  • Never leave it burning unattended or within reach of kids and pets.
  • Retire the candle when about 1/2 inch of wax remains.

From candle to planter

The ceramic vessel is made to outlast the wax. Once it is empty and cleaned, it makes a tidy pen cup on a desk or a holder for makeup brushes. To use it as a planter, use it as a decorative sleeve: set a small plant in a nursery pot with drainage inside it, so roots never sit in water at the bottom.

Who to give it to

Lilac and lavender are both classic purple garden flowers, which makes this candle a natural pick for gardeners, for Mother's Day and for birthdays of anyone who adores florals. Build a set around it in the Gift Box Builder. If it is ever out of stock, use Notify Me on the product page.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a spring-only candle?

It leans spring in spirit, but the scent is soft enough to burn any time of year. A lilac candle in January is a small act of optimism.

Does it come as a wax melt too?

Yes, the same lavender and lilac pairing is also made as a wax melt for flame-free use. You can find it with the rest of the wax melt scents.
