An eucalyptus candle built on greens, cardamom, and black pepper has more edge than the name suggests, and Teddy Bear commits to that tension from the first light. The opening is crisp and clearing, almost medicinal before violet and eucalyptus round the middle into something gentler, and sandalwood with vetiver closes the base warm and low, anchoring the top notes with woodiness that reads grounded rather than clinical. The wax traces to a single American soy operation where the beans were pressed, combined with coconut wax, and given fragrance at a concentration tuned for projection rather than subtlety. Thick glass holds its two cotton wicks calibrated for complete wax coverage inside the first half hour, preventing the tunneling that traps oil at the edges and shortens both throw and burn life. More than sixty hours of entirely vegan performance follow, with zero paraffin, zero phthalates, and botanical oils that let eucalyptus project its clearing quality without producing any soot on glass or ceiling.
