Flamingo Estate: Candle

FLAMINGO ESTATE Hand Poured 100% Vegetable Wax Candle

Heirloom Tomato Candle 

 Flamingo Estates most beloved scent, the Heirloom Tomato Candle captures the supple, green essence of balmy summer nights in the garden. Think ripe Tomatoes hanging heavy from freshly watered vines, their leaves at their most fragrant. This Candle releases an intoxicating aroma of herbaceous, peppery earth evoking a wildly nostalgic Summer feeling that lingers long after the flame is out. 

Adriatic Muscatel Sage

 Sage's botanical name comes from the Latin word "salvere", which means, "to be saved." There are over 900 species of Sage worldwide, with 19 of them having their origins in California. Among these native species are Hummingbird Sage, Pitcher Sage, Black Sage, Purple Sage, and White Sage — all currently growing wild at the Flamingo Estate. The abundance of Sage in their Garden inspired the aroma of this Candle. It’s deeply cleansing and camphorous, softened by a hint of sweetness.

Agrigento Olive Tree

The Agrigento Olive Tree Candle is inspired by sunset in two places: The Olive grove at Flamingo Estate, and the ancient Olive groves surrounding Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples, on the southern coast of Sicily.

But they are closer than you might think. At the Estate, their Olive Trees are descendants of old Mediterranean varieties, grown from cuttings whose ancestors took root long ago in Europe. At sunset, their silver leaves catch the last light, the trunks turn dark and sculptural, and the whole garden smells green, floral, woody, and alive.

Agrigento holds that same feeling: ancient Greek temples rising from a Mediterranean garden of Olive Trees, Almond, Carob, Citrus, and wild herbs. This candle is not about Olive Oil. It is about the Olive Tree itself: the leaf, the bark, the branch, the grove.

It is herbal, bright, and deeply unusual. Galbanum and Violet Leaf give it a vivid green snap, Eucalyptus brings a clean brightness, and Sandalwood settles everything into soft, sacred warmth. When lit, something surprising opens up: a scent that is sweet, floral, green, and grassy all at once. Strange and beautiful, and unlike anything else we make. x Richard

Green Goddess

The Green Goddess Candle is a radiant, wild thing: curling with the aroma of fresh Mint, bright Pea Tendrils, African Rosemary, and moist Basil. It took them well over a year to get it perfectly right, and the scent is incredibly refreshing and original — giving the same rush and kick as the original Tomato Candle. It is a fecund celebration of all that bursts with green - conjuring those fleeting moments at golden hour when everything is lush and the garden feels alive.

Jasmine Damask Rose 

Night-Blooming Jasmine erupts around the Estate from late spring through fall, with its biggest, most operatic bloom in May and June. This is what inspired this candle, it is narcotic, floral, and alive. Damask Rose gives the Jasmine a velvety, honeyed softness. Ionian Bergamot adds brightness. Pink Peppercorn brings a little heat. White Sandalwood leaves a warm, skin-like finish.

Highland Park Jalapeño

Light it and the room shifts. First, the bright green snap of fresh Coriander Seed and Lemon zest. Then the slow, dry heat of Jalapeños left to wrinkle in the sunshine: herbaceous, deep, alive at the back of the throat. Underneath: sun-warmed Thyme, a pinch of Oregano, and the resinous green hum of Galbanum, holding it all together like the last hour of daylight.

Sharp at the nose. Glowing at the roof of the mouth. Lingering long after the wick goes out, in that neon-green way that only Jalapeño can.

Tuscan Rosemary

The “mist of the sea,” Rosemary is the objet d’amour of Romans, Greeks, and Honeybees everywhere. Kindling warm layers of evergreen and camphor, often detected wafting amongst the Cypress Trees and ruins of golden hour strolls. For centuries, this ubiquitous herb has been used as a mental stimulant — said to enhance memory, intelligence, and creative dreaming. Light up.

Flamingo Estate Candle Care 

When burning your candle for the first time, allow it to burn for 2 to 3 hours, until the top layer of the wax has completely melted. This will prevent the wax from tunneling around the wick. When burning the candle after the first burn, do not let it burn for over 3 hours at a time.

Keepp the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch at all times to prevent the candle from emitting smoke or the wick falling into the wax.

After each burn, see that the wick is centered in the wax. This will also ensure that the glass does not overheat. The wick and flame should never be touching the glass. When approaching the end of the candle, leave ¼ inch of wax unburned and ensure you are not burning the candle for more than 3 hours. The glass can get overheated without the presence of wax and break.
