Lavender Scare

LAVENDER SCARE—the first scent created for Birthday Boy—complicates a classic lavender scent with notes of cypress, cedar, and amber, before finishing off with fresh notes of sage, eucalyptus, and honeydew. The name references the moral panic and subsequent persecution of LGBTQ+ people in the United States in the mid-20th century.

Materials

• Hand poured, dye-free natural soy
• Phthalate-free fragrance oils
• Natural essential oils
• Cotton wick for a clean burn
• Recycled glass jar
• Label designed by Alex Carey

Care Instructions

• Before each burn, trim the wick to 1/4 inch for a clean, even burn.
• Allow the wax to melt to the edges on your first burn to avoid tunneling.
• Burn within sight, away from drafts, and out of reach of kids and pets.
• Don't burn for more than 3-4 hours at a time.
• Store candles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or warping.

Shipping Info

Orders typically ship in 2-3 business days, and take 3-5 days to ship via UPS Ground. Birthday Boy candles are made in small batches and cure for a minimum of two weeks, so orders may sometimes be delayed in the pursuit of soy-based excellence.
