Banksia Candle
In the heart of the wilderness, where the earth meets the sky and the sun kisses the land, stands the banksia tree, its golden blossoms shimmering in the dappled light. For generations, the banksia has been revered by Indigenous peoples for its beauty, its bounty, and its profound connection to the land.
As the sun rises over the horizon and the birds begin to sing their morning song, the scent of banksia fills the air, mingling with the sweet aroma of bergamot and grapefruit. It's a fragrance that speaks of adventure and discovery, of new beginnings and endless possibilities.
Our Banksia Candle captures the essence of this sacred flower, with middle notes of fir needle and banksia that transport you to the heart of the Australian bush. As you journey deeper into the fragrance, you'll encounter base notes of cassia bark and cedarwood, like the sturdy roots of the banksia tree firmly planted in the earth.
But it's not just a candle—it's a celebration of native beauty, a tribute to the wisdom of our ancestors, and a reminder of the beauty and resilience of the Australian landscape.

Candle Care
When will my candle ship?
A great candle experience begins with proper candle care and maintenance. Here are some important burning tips for enjoying your Little Black Duck candle:
1. Preventing memory rings.
Believe it or not, candles have a memory and the very first time you burn your new candle is the most important. Ensure you burn your candle long enough to completely melt the entire top surface of your candle. If the wax is not allowed to liquefy or to melt from edge to edge of the container, it will create a “memory ring,”. Once a candle has this “memory ring,” it will continue to tunnel and to burn that way for the life of the candle. And no one wants that!
2. Trim your wick.
Before lighting, always trim the wick to 6mm and remove any wick debris as this encourages an even burn.
3. Be safe.
Always burn your candle on a heat resistant surface, keep it out of drafts and NEVER leave it unattended while lit. Always burn candles well away from other heat sources, and anything flammable. Make sure burning candles are out of reach of children and pets.
4. Goodbye is the hardest word.
KNOW WHEN TO SAY GOODBYE. When only 1/2" of wax remains, it's time to let your candle go. Discontinue use of a candle when ½” of wax remains at the bottom of the jar. This will prevent possible heat damage to the counter/surface or container itself. The glass can get hot on the bottom as the flame nears the base of the jar and most of the wax has been consumed. By following this instruction, the glass will not get too hot.
5. Know your limit.
Candles should not be burned for more than four hours at a time. It is recommended that after burning for four hours, candles be extinguished, allowed to cool for two hours, and trimmed before relighting.
