Vanilla is popular for a reason. This one knows it.
Not So Basic is a full, buttery-rich vanilla with a smooth gourmand character. It is sweet and comforting without needing a bakery case full of extra notes to prove a point.
The scent: rich, creamy vanilla with a smooth, sweet gourmand finish.

Make it part of the ritual
Light Not So Basic when the room needs warmth without a theme, season, or complicated fragrance story. Let the familiar vanilla become the cue to get comfortable and make ordinary time feel a little softer.

Hand-poured with care & ships within 1 to 4 business days.
How It Works for Your Space
The coconut-soy wax blend releases fragrance gradually as the melt pool develops. The wooden wick adds a soft crackle and supports an even burn when trimmed correctly. As the candle burns, the brighter opening notes give way to the softer, warmer, or more grounded dry-down described in the scent profile.

Candle Care, Safety & Policies
Wick and burn care
Trim the wooden wick to about 1/8 inch before each burn. Allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface, especially during the first burn. 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.
