The black candle (shown) holds Palo Santo and Cade candles, there is also white (Teak and Black Salt), pink (Cactus Flower and Water Mint), blue (Sea Moss and Sage) and green (Green Tea and Aloe). Around $33.
More from Paddywax: the National Parks collection, with crackling wood wicks. A portion of the proceeds goes to the National Park Foundation.
