Our Amani Soy Wax Candle evokes a misty mountain morning deep in the African rainforest, with the herbaceous scent of wisps of fog, imminent rainstorms, and fresh dew, blended seamlessly with delicious tropical fruits of passionfruit, guava, and mango.   

When I lived in the mountains of Rwanda, sitting in my garden on those misty mornings with a freshly squeezed glass of passionfruit were some of my favorite moments. I tried to capture and share those moments of pure peace and harmony with this custom created and unique scent combination.  

Amani, the Swahili word for peace, is part of our charity line Prayers for Peace collection. All profits from the purchase of this candle will be donated to various charities with specific campaigns in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), including Action Against Hunger, Doctors Without Borders and UNICEF in the DRC. The DRC is currently facing a humanitarian crisis with unprecedented violence, hunger, political instability, and mass displacement. By purchasing this candle you are helping to give back to a marginalized and disenfranchised community that desperately needs our help. Every time you light your candle, please take a moment to send a prayer or intention asking for Amani, or peace, for the Congolese people currently being affected by this crisis.  

 Our candles are made from environmentally sustainable soy wax, hemp wicks, and pure essential oils and/or high quality, phthalate-free, and hand-blended fragrances that are unique- you will never smell another candle like them! 

 This is for a 9 oz container candle. Please burn at 1-3 hours increments at a time and keep wick trimmed to 1/4 inch. For the first burn, please burn until the wax is melted to the edge of the container to avoid tunneling. Total burning time is approximately 60 hours. Make sure you use candles responsibly, and keep them away from pets, children, and any flammable materials.
