Capri Blue Volcano Candle, Cobalt Glass Jar, 19 oz

Volcano is the candle Capri Blue built its name on, and the cobalt blue glass jar is as much the point as the scent. It's a genuinely distinctive vessel among home candles, one that keeps working as a catchall or bud vase long after the wax is gone, and it holds its own on a shelf without needing a matching set around it.

The scent is a blend of tropical fruit and sugared citrus, warm and a little sweet rather than beachy or artificial, and the soy wax blend is formulated to throw it well across a room. At 19 ounces it burns for up to 85 hours, which is a long runway for a candle in this price range.

Trim the wick to a quarter inch before each burn and let the top layer of wax fully liquefy before blowing it out to avoid tunneling down the middle, standard care for any soy blend candle, but especially worth doing here since the jar is worth keeping in good shape.
