The capital of Mongolia sprawls between mountains and forests, offering an incredibly diverse range of sensory experiences – but this scented candle looks out to the desert steppe, capturing the essence of nomadic encampments under wide open skies, with wisps of tobacco, leather, ambergris, and angelica root essence. Unique and transporting.

100% natural wax, free of paraffin
Burn time: Approximately 60 hours
Glass container is hand-blown in Tuscany, Italy
On the first time of lighting allow the candle to burn for two to three hours until the wax has pooled right to the edge, allow to solidify again before relighting.
Trim the wick each time before lighting for a longer, cleaner burn. This will allow for an even burn in future. Never burn a candle all the way through the bottom and never leave a lit candle unattended.
