Product details

Fresh-Linen Coconut-Soy Candle

Fresh-laundry energy, clean-air confidence, and absolutely no follow-up questions.

It’s Me, Not the Dog opens with lemon, orange, and crisp apple, softens through jasmine and orange blossom, and settles into clean musk. It gives the room a freshly reset feeling without collapsing into one flat detergent note.

The scent: lively citrus and apple, soft white florals, and a clean musky finish.

Make it part of the ritual

Light It’s Me, Not the Dog when the space needs a fresh reset. Let the first burn become the cue to open things up, clear the air, and make home feel a little more put together.

Freshen the room. Blame whoever you need to.

Bright citrus, crisp apple, white florals, and clean musk bring fresh-laundry energy without the one-note detergent effect.

How It Works for Your Space

The coconut-soy wax blend carries the fragrance gradually as the melt pool develops. The cotton wick supports an even burn when trimmed correctly, while the layered fragrance moves from its brighter opening into a warmer, longer-lasting base.

Candle Care, Safety & Policies

Wick and burn care

Trim the cotton wick to 1/4 inch before each burn. Allow the wax to melt fully to the edges on the first burn to support even performance. Burn for no more than 4 hours at a time and allow the candle to cool before relighting.

Safety

Burn within sight on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Keep away from drafts, flammable objects, children, and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish before sleeping or leaving the room.

Processing, curing and policies

Hand-poured with care and typically ships within 1 to 4 business days unless otherwise noted. Processing time is separate from carrier transit time. Best scent performance comes after the full cure period; a cure date is provided when applicable.
