Oak moss and fir needle with warm cinnamon. Buyers describe it as a winter-woods scent they use year-round, not only at Christmas.

How many wicks does it have?

Illume's description says one wick, while the listed specs say three. Check the wick count on the candle you receive before lighting.

Is it vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. Illume states the candle is vegan and cruelty-free and is designed and manufactured in the USA.

How big is the candle?

It holds 16 oz of wax and measures about 3.75 by 3.75 by 4.25 inches. Buyers call the size generous.

Can I reuse the glass jar?
