Seasonal Scent of July: Lavender + Petals
An exuberant but elegant bouquet of floral notes, Lavender + Petals evokes childhood warmth with supple mimosa, light cloves, and peaceful lavender.
This month's complimentary preview tealight is August's
Canyons.
July Rituals
"I swap out the coasters at my desk and on my wardrobe with each shipment, so there is something about the renewal around my home that each delivery brings. It's not just a candle. I love that each shipment is like a gift that permeates throughout my day-to-day."

What's Included
Soothe your soul with our current Seasonal member shipment containing a Lavender + Petals candle, a tealight preview of next month's Seasonal Scent (Canyons), a limited-edition coaster, and a letter from the Keap Team.
Candle Burning Tips
Following your first burn, each time you use your candle, trim the wick to 3⁄8" (about the width of your pinky finger) before you light it. This helps ensure a smaller, safer flame and less soot.
Each time you burn your candle, burn it for 2-3 hours. This will not only maximize the fragrance throw, but also help avoid "tunneling," where the candle burns down the middle, leaving wax around the edges.
For safety reasons:
▶ Don't burn your candle when less than a 1/2" of wax remains.
▶ Never leave a burning candle unattended!

A Note on Matches
Longtime subscribers will know that we've experimented with a variety of matchbox (and even matchbook!) styles over the years, and we historically included matches in every subscriber shipment.
In early 2024, we made the switch to a beautiful Jumbo Matchbox containing extra sturdy long matches. With this change in format, we also implemented a change in the frequency we send them.
We now include a Jumbo Matchbox in every 12th subscription order. You can read more about the reasons behind the change here.
Need more matches sooner? Learn how to add matches to your next order through the subscriber portal here.

Candleholders are a breeze to repurpose when you know how! We've put together this quick and easy guide to give any candle glass a second life.

Tealight Burning Tips
The tealights are indicative of what our full candles smell like, but our full candles are much more powerful. To appreciate each scent, burn the tealight nearby or in a small room—bathrooms are a great place to test.
Not feeling next month's scent? You can always swap to Wood Cabin, Wild Figs or Timur Moon. Make the change directly in your account -or- email us at TheLab@KeapCandles.com, and we'll make the change for you.
Some safety tips for your tealights:
▶ Don't leave lit candles (even tealights!) burning unattended.
▶ Burn on a flat surface.
▶ Be careful as the tins can get hot!
