The Open Door Club Jar Candle combines bright lemon, comforting butter, and soothing lavender in a cotton-wicked jar format. Its fragrance profile layers citrus top notes with floral and warm base notes, creating a balanced, long-lasting scent throw. For an even burn, the wax pool should be allowed to reach the full edge on the first light, with the wick trimmed to 1/4–1/2" before each subsequent use to prevent uneven pooling and excess bloom.
In 1939, Edna Smith and Louise Harper-two domestic workers-created the Open Door Club in Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard, as a welcoming haven where Black domestic workers could gather, cook, and rest on their days off. Infused with bright lemon, comforting butter, and soothing lavender, this candle embodies a spirit of friendship, hospitality, and inclusivity. Each gentle flicker carries echoes of shared meals, laughter, and the simple joys of togetherness. For the best burn experience, keep the following in mind: The first time you light your candle, allow it to burn until the wax pool melts all the way to the edge; for a larger candle, this may take several hours. Wax has " memory," so if it is extinguished with a partial pool, that will prevent a full, even pool from forming in the future. Trim your wick each time you light the candle, removing any " bloom" from the previous burn. We recommend lighting a wick that is 1/4-1/2" in length. Ensure that your candle is placed on a heat-safe surface. Do not allow wick trimmings, dust, or other materials to accumulate in the wax pool. To ensure safety and longevity, be sure to check the bottom of your candle for additional instructions, including details on when to discontinue use.
