Cedar wood has a warm, balsamic, woody scent. It is this earthy aroma found in the Cedar Wood candle that offers a sense of security and creates a soothing sense of space while burning. Used by the Sumerians, Egyptians, Tibetans, and Native Americans because of its calming effect on the mind and spirit, the scent of cedar wood is very relaxing. This 10 oz., 80 hour burn candle has been proudly hand made in America. The soy wax burns clean, is biodegradable, GMO free, and non-toxic. The wick is pure cotton.
