We are Grand Island Candle Company. Our candles are inspired by Western New York, the moments and memories; lifestyle and mood. We hand blend and pour all of our candles in small batches in our Grand Island candle studio using sustainably grown soy wax derived from American-grown soy beans and phthalate-free perfume oils infused with essential oils. We pride ourselves on our craftsmanship, ethical production, accessible prices, and presentation.
Plus they smell Great!!
Poured by hand in Grand Island, New York with 100% soy wax derived from American-grown soy beans.University Heights is a 15oz double wick candle with no added dyes or chemicals in 17oz amber glass vessel, scented with essential oils and premium grade fragrance. Two lead-free cotton wicks results in 60+ hours of eco-friendly, clean burning candle enjoyment. Put on your smoking jacket and reading glasses, grab a leather-bound novel from the mahogany shelves, and flip through the dusty pages. University Heights recalls the atmosphere of an historic library of yesteryear, beginning with a teakwood top note that gives way to a heart of cedar and leather. Earthy sandalwood, dark musk, and patchouli wrap up this woody scent. University Heights is infused with natural essential oils including cedarwood, patchouli, vetiver, elemi, and cade.
Directions:
Always trim wicks to 1/4 inch before lighting (we suggest using a wick trimmer). The first time you light your candle, let it burn for 3-4 hours to allow the melted wax to reach the edge of the container to prevent your candle from tunneling.
Candle Safety:
Follow the 2 foot rule - don't place a burning candle near clothing, books, curtains or anything flammable. Place candle holders on a stable, heat-resistant surface (candle coasters work great). Keep lit candles away from drafts, ceiling fans and any air currents. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish all candles when you leave a room or before going to sleep or if the flame gets too close to the candle holder or container. A candle should not be burned for more than four hours at a time. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 1/4 inch of wax remains in the container.
