Where the Desert Exhales Candle in Cactus Flower and Jade, a frosted glass candle with a maple wood lid, labeled with a photograph of a sunburst over saguaros and cholla in the Sonoran Desert, Arizona

Where the Desert Exhales Candle · Cactus Flower & Jade

$42.00

Breathe out with the desert.

Sunset rays reaching across the Sonoran Desert, cholla spines glowing like embers, and saguaros standing in silhouette against a sky of violet and gold. This candle pairs Cactus Flower & Jade, with fresh notes of aloe and agave over green leaves and soft florals, grounded by a touch of patchouli, with Where the Desert Exhales, a photograph made in the Sonoran Desert, Arizona.

Photographed in the Sonoran Desert and hand-poured just down the road in Phoenix, it’s a small piece of the Arizona desert at the end of the day. Light it when the day’s heat lets go, rest your eyes on the image for a few breaths, and let the mind come to rest.

The photograph Where the Desert Exhales is also available as a print.

Every Natural Phocus candle pairs one of our landscape photographs with a fragrance chosen to match the place it shows: evergreen for a redwood forest, warm amber for a desert dawn, clean sea air for an evening shore. Together, what you see and what you breathe point to the same moment in nature. We smell every fragrance in person before pairing it with an image.

Light the candle and set it where you can see the label. Let your eyes rest on the photograph for a few slow breaths, and notice one detail you hadn’t seen before: a color, a shape, the way the light falls. When your attention drifts, return to the image. A minute or two is enough.

Before each lighting, trim a wooden wick to 1/8 to 3/16 inch, or a cotton wick to 1/4 inch. For the best burn, let your candle burn for 3 to 4 hours each time, so the wax melts evenly to the edge; this prevents tunneling and helps it last. Keep a burning candle within sight and away from children, pets, drafts, and anything flammable. Stop using the candle when 1/2 inch of wax remains.

Because each candle is hand-poured, slight variations in wax color and fill level are a natural part of the process.

Candles are hand-poured and shipped from Phoenix, Arizona,
typically ship within 2 to 4 business days. If your order also includes a
print, the candle ships separately and may arrive in its own package on a
different day. Each candle is packed to protect the glass in transit, and
you’ll receive tracking information as soon as it ships.

We currently ship candles within the United States only.

Each candle is poured to order. If yours arrives damaged or with a defect, please contact us within seven days of delivery with a photo, and we’ll send a replacement. Because candles are made to order and can’t be resold once opened, we’re unable to accept returns for other reasons.
