Say hello to Standard Wax, Momo’s newest candle crush. Hand poured in Tempe, AZ, these 100% soy candles come in an array of luscious scents ... but more importantly, they come in attractive re-usable vessels.
Rather than a typical fragrance-focused genesis, Sam, the founder of Standard Wax began her candle-making journey as a ceramic artist. She held the vision of creating beautiful and elegant holders that can, and should be, re-purposed. Some suggestions for lending life to the simple cylinders: sake cups (our personal favorite), change holder, tiny planter, a house for pens and pencils — the list goes on.
Momo has seven heavenly fragrances:
Bergamot + Basil
clean and fresh, with bright basil and earthy moss
Citrus + Black Currant
citrus, fruity currant and a hint of greenery
Fireside
smoky cedar and sandalwood, with a touch of forest air
Forest Floor
freshly turned soil and mysterious moss
Whiskey + Fig
teakwood, black tea, figs and sweet melons
Green Thumb
ferns, grass, sun-drenched soil
Tomato Leaf
Momo Mama Lei Ann’s favorite! Truly smells like lightly crushed tomato leaves mixed with lemon, jasmine and herbs
Here are a few tips and tricks for your Standard Wax candle:
- always create a “melt pool.” Keep your candle lit until the uppermost layer is melted all the way out to the edge of the container.
- trim the wick to 1/4" before each use
- when there is only 1/2" of wax left, scoop it (and the wick) out with a spoon. Wipe the interior clean (wash with dish soap if using for drinks or food). Voila! Food-safe, beautiful, and ready for a second life. ❤
