      Hermes was the messenger of the gods — patron of travellers, merchants, and thieves, and the figure who moved between worlds without rules. His fragrance is fitting: smoky leather, sweet tobacco, and warm golden resins, with a bergamot opening and an amber base that lingers.

      The Hermes candle is poured from 100% natural soy wax at our Orlando studio. At 180 g it fills a room without overpowering it — one of our most requested container candles.

      Candle care

      • First burn: Allow the wax pool to reach the edges before extinguishing — this prevents tunnelling and extends burn life.
      • Wick care: Trim the wick to 5 mm before every burn for a clean, steady flame.
      • 🧽CleaningWipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive pads — these can dull or scratch the surface.
      • ☀️SunlightKeep away from prolonged direct sunlight. UV exposure can cause colour fading or slight warping over time.
      • 💧Water exposureEco-resin is moisture-resistant but not waterproof. Avoid submerging or leaving wet for extended periods. Dry immediately if splashed.
      • 🌡️TemperatureAvoid placing near heat sources such as radiators or in hot cars. Sustained high heat can cause warping.
      • 🫧Surface carePlace on a flat, stable surface. Use felt pads underneath to protect furniture. Handle with care — edges may be delicate.
      • 🚫Food safetyOur eco-resin pieces are decorative items only and are not food-safe. Do not use as bowls or plates for food contact.
      Are your eco-resin pieces food-safe?

      Our eco-resin and jesmonite pieces are decorative items and are not food-safe. They are not designed for food contact. Please use them as display objects, catch-alls, or decorative trays only.

      What is eco-resin / jesmonite made from?

      Eco-resin (jesmonite) is a composite material made from a water-based acrylic polymer and a mineral base. It is non-toxic, solvent-free, and biodegradable over time — making it a preferred material in conscious design compared to traditional epoxy resin.

      Will the colour fade over time?

      Our pieces are pigmented using mineral-based oxides which are highly stable. Colour is generally very durable, though prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause slight fading in lighter pieces over many months.

      Can I use this as a candle holder?

      Yes — our trays and bowls work beautifully as candle holders. Always place a candle in a proper candle holder first before placing on the tray, to protect the surface from heat and wax drips.

      Is it watertight?

      Eco-resin is moisture-resistant but not fully waterproof. It is suitable for holding dry items and light jewellery. Avoid filling with water or leaving wet for extended periods, as prolonged moisture can affect the surface over time.

      FAQ

      Yes. Each candle in this collection is hand-poured with non-GMO natural soy wax and IFRA-approved scented oils. We never use fragrance oils flagged for inhalation hazards. All our ingredients are sourced from reputable suppliers with full safety documentation. This ensures our candles are safe for daily use — even in homes where air quality and well-being truly matter.

      Yes, scented candle jars are safe when used correctly. Our candles are hand-poured in heat-resistant glass jars with eco-friendly soy wax, cotton wicks, and phthalate-free fragrance oils to ensure a clean and safe burn. Always place your candle on a stable, heat-safe surface, keep the wick trimmed to ¼ inch before each use, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Jars are designed to contain melted wax and prevent spills, making them both practical and decorative for your home.

      Absolutely. Our Coastal Wellness candles are free from toxic compounds and scented oils flagged for respiratory concerns. They're developed with families like Lily's in mind — safe for people and pets, and made with pure soy wax and sustainable standards.

      Each candle is poured to ensure an even, clean burn, with burn times ranging from 25 to 45 hours depending on size. Thanks to the pure soy wax and our optimized wicks, the fragrance disperses consistently without tunneling or soot.

      Yes—our non-GMO soy wax and soot-free wicks make jar cleaning simple and safe. Once about ¼″ of wax remains, extinguish the candle and let it cool completely. Use a rigid silicone tool (avoid metal) to remove leftover wax. Wash the jar in hot, soapy water or pop it in the dishwasher once it's fully clean. You'll have a beautiful glass container perfect for repurposing as a vase, pen holder, or storage cup—supporting eco-friendly living and cutting waste in line with Votive's sustainability ethos.

      🦺 SAFETY FIRST

      • Do not leave lit candles unattended; extinguish them if you leave the room.
      • Keep candles out of children's reach.
      • Store in cool, dark places, away from sunlight.
      • Given the type of candle, ensure you use a stable, heat-resistant surface.
