Highland Park Jalapeno Candle
Flamingo Estate made a candle that speaks to the buzzing energy of Los Angeles: the city with spice in its veins and a kick in the air. It’s a siren song for thrill-seekers and pleasure-chasers who are willing to risk it all. It’s all things wild and brisk, tingling the nose with a sharp bite, reaching the roof of the mouth, lingering deep with glowing neon green. Highland Park Jalapeño is a bold olfactory ode to our home. It grinds together fresh Coriander Seeds, sun-warmed Thyme, resinous green Galbanum, and ripe Jalapeños bursting with bite.
Highland Park Jalapeño takes seed, resin, leaf, and spice, and grinds it altogether in a hot olfactory metate. Sharp, green, and spicy — it opens with a crackle of Coriander Seeds, Lemon Zest, and Oregano. Thyme and Eucalyptus kick things awake, as balsamic Galbanum grounds it deep into brisk, green earth.
When burning your candle for the first time, allow it to burn for 2 to 3 hours, until the top layer of the wax has completely melted. This will prevent the wax from tunneling around the wick. When burning the candle after the first burn, do not let it burn for over 3 hours at a time. Ideally, we recommend keeping the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch at all times to prevent the candle from emitting smoke or the wick falling into the wax.
