Botanical Cherry Blossom Candle

Flickering candlelit enchantment, this hand-poured ode to spring is inlaid with rose larkspur and natural birch sprigs to perfectly represent a cherry blossom branch in full bloom. As the Botanical Cherry Blossom Candle’s center burns, the wax-encased botanicals are beautifully illuminated while a lovely fragrance—cherry blossom and pink freesia overlaying vanilla musk—wafts in the air. Wax. Burn time, approximately 120 hours. Made in the USA.  5"h. x 4.5"dia.
