Why we stand behind it
This candle is hand-crafted in Los Angeles. It opens with crisp bitter orange and subtle petitgrain, transitions through warm Mediterranean neroli and sweet honey, and finishes with soft orange blossom and delicate jasmine, creating a nuanced, bittersweet sensory journey. Inspired by life’s dualities, it captures the interplay between brightness and depth. Free from parabens and phthalates, it embodies the Credo mission by uniting luxurious craftsmanship with safe, sustainable ingredients for a cleaner burn and a more intentional home environment.

What is an undertone?
An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Usage
Trim the wick to about ¼ inch before each lighting to ensure a clear, even flame.
Place the candle on a stable, heat‑resistant surface, away from drafts and flammable materials.
On the first burn, allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface to avoid tunneling.
Limit burning sessions to 3–4 hours for optimal fragrance and candle longevity.
Extinguish with a snuffer or gently dip the wick into melted wax, then center it before the wax sets.
Let the candle cool completely before moving or relighting.
Pro-tip
For maximum scent throw and longevity, let the wax pool reach the vessel’s edge on every burn.
Repurpose the vessel as a planter, catch‑all, or decorative object once the candle has burned. All our vessels are dishwasher safe.
