John
“Southern Gentleman”
Our namesake that was inspired by my Grandpa John who hailed from Waynesboro, Mississippi. This candle blends the smooth, luxurious scent of suede with the rich, earthy aroma of tobacco, reminding me of the weekends and summers spent in his company. It’s a fragrance that captures his strong personality and impactful presence, evoking the charm and strength of a true Southern Gent.

Candle Tips & Care Card
Learn about the seeds used in our care cards.1. Please allow wax to melt evenly to the sides on 1st burn to prevent “tunneling”.
2. For best results, try not to burn for more than 4 hours at a time.
3. Lastly, mushrooms are fun, just not on candle wicks. Remove excess carbon build up and trim wick to 1/4 inch before each burn. Use provided hex nut* for easy measuring.*Be sure to remove hex nut before burning!
The included care card is embedded with non invasive wildflower seeds.

Ok, sorry, yes, that's super cheesy! But it's what first came to mind because it's true. My John candle is proving to be the perfect addition to my bathroom, making it smell like the outdoors, filling it with an awesome fresh sent of bergamot, cedarwood, sandalwood, and a little smoke! And throw in a whiff of clove and leather!
This scent reminds me of men's cologne, maybe similar to Polo. It smells expensive and luxurious. I love it! The team at Candles By John is such a pleasure to work with, too. Small businesses are not easy to get off the ground and they really shine though with amazing product, cool displays, and thoughtful customer service. :)
