Mango Gelato Scented Candle

The Profile:

Ripe, peak-of-summer mango, the kind that stains your fingers and you don't care, with vanilla ice cream and sugar folded in like someone made a gelato out of the best fruit you've ever eaten and then somehow turned it into a candle. Sunshine yellow wax, cream gelato scoop on top. Your home smells like May. The good part of May.

The Notes:

Top: Ripe Mangoes
Middle: Sugar, Vanilla Ice Cream
Base: Vanilla

The Blend:

Crafted with premium, phthalate-free fragrance oils and Ecocert-certified 100% natural soy wax, clean-burning, non-toxic, and the only mango dessert that doesn't drip down your arm in 40 degree heat.

WHY IS IT VIRAL?

Because ripe mango is not just a fruit in India, it's an event. It's the crate of Alphonsos that arrives at nani's house in May and everything stops. It's the aamras your mum made that you've been trying to recreate ever since. Mango Gelato captures that, ripe, sweet, almost uncomfortably good, and then vanilla ice cream and sugar arrive and suddenly it's also a dessert. The sunshine yellow wax and gelato scoop on top make it the most visually unhinged candle on the shelf. In the best way. Always in the best way.

170g of Ecocert soy wax in a clear glass jar, vivid sunshine yellow wax base, hand-sculpted cream gelato scoop sitting on top. Bright yellow gift box. 8×8×9 cm. Arrives looking like summer gift-wrapped itself. No lid, just the scoop, open and proud. Single cotton wick. Up to 30 hours of your home smelling like the best mango season you've ever had.

USAGE & RITUAL

First burn: full wax surface liquid, about 2–3 hours. Sets the wax memory, prevents tunnelling. The yellow wax is too beautiful to waste on a tunnel. Do the first burn.
Every burn after: trim the wick to 6mm. Clean flame, no soot on that gorgeous sunshine jar. Four seconds. Every time.
Max 3–4 hours per session. Cool fully before relighting. Best lit in summer. Also acceptable in winter when you desperately need reminding that summer is coming back.

Mango Gelato was made because mango deserves its own candle and it deserved to be done properly. Not a synthetic fruit note that smells like mango candy. The real thing, ripe, warm, slightly tropical, in Ecocert soy wax, phthalate-free, small-batch poured with the kind of attention to scent accuracy that we lose sleep over. Every gelato scoop hand-placed. Every burn a small, sweet act of joy. We made this for the mango lovers. In India, that's everyone. This one's for all of you.

Q: Is this actually a mango gelato?
Candle. Yellow wax. Gelato scoop also wax. Do not eat any of it. We know mango makes you lose all reason. Stay strong.

Q: Does it smell like real mango or like mango candy?
Real mango. Ripe, juicy, peak-of-season mango. Not the artificial kind. Your nose will know in approximately two seconds.

Q: Will the gelato scoop melt when I burn it?
Slowly and dramatically, yes. The yellow wax underneath is revealed as the scoop melts. Both stages are beautiful. Let it happen.

Q: How long does it burn?
Up to 30 hours, first burn done properly, wick trimmed every time, max 4 hours per session. Thirty hours of mango season in your living room.

Q: Good gift?
Yellow box, looks like a gelato, smells like the best mango you've ever had. For every mango lover you know. In India, that's everyone on your contact list.
