Here’s a complete breakdown:
What it is

- Gel candles – decorative, see-through, slow burn
Common Additions

- Herbs: rosemary, mint, or thyme for complexity
- Layering: blending orange with vanilla, sandalwood, or cedarwood
Benefits

- Makes a great gift—especially in fall/winter or for “welcome home” vibes
Usage Tips
- Trim wick to ~¼ inch before each burn
- Let candle melt across the entire surface for an even burn
