This mistletoe candle bottles the most romantic sprig of the season for book lovers. Under the Mistletoe carries a crisp, green fragrance — the magic of stolen kisses beneath the leaves — made for cozy winter nights, holiday romance novels, and rooms that deserve a little festive charm.
Mistletoe itself is a curious plant: an evergreen that grows on other trees, which is partly why winter traditions gave it such mythic status. Each candle is truly handmade — hand-poured in small batches in North Carolina from 100% pure soy wax, no paraffin, no blends.
