FLAMINGO ESTATE GOLDEN POLLINATOR CANDLE

Made in the United States

The Golden Pollinator Candle.  For a few weeks at the start of summer, Milan changes.  The linden trees bloom all at once, and the city fills with a soft, honeyed scent that settles into the air. It drifts along boulevards, through open windows, and lingers well into the evening. There is a faint citrus brightness to it, a green edge beneath the sweetness, something alive and quietly present. Beneath it, a low hum moves through the trees as bees gather in the blossoms.  This candle is built around that moment.  Linden blossom forms the core, warm and lightly sweet, lifted by the sparkling zest of bergamot and softened by a touch of heliotrope.  A trace of pollen hangs in the background, giving the scent a golden, diffusive quality.  Burn time 50 hours.

Flamingo Estate, created by Richard Christiansen in 2020, creates artisanal goods like candles, olive oil, honey, and organic body products by working directly with farmers who use sustainable and regenerative practices.

CARE

When burning your candle for the first time, allow it to burn for 2 to 3 hours, until the top layer of the wax has completely melted. This will prevent the wax from tunneling around the wick. When burning the candle after the first burn, do not let it burn for over 3 hours at a time.

Ideally, we recommend keeping the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch at all times to prevent the candle from emitting smoke or the wick falling into the wax.

After each burn, see that the wick is centered in the wax. This will also ensure that the glass does not overheat. The wick and flame should never be touching the glass. When approaching the end of the candle, leave ¼ inch of wax unburned and ensure you are not burning the candle for more than 3 hours. The glass can get overheated without the presence of wax and break.
