Eucalyptus Candle
Close your eyes and envision yourself by the bila 'river,' enveloped in the embrace of a balmy summer evening. The air is alive with the aroma of gum leaves gently cascading to the earth beside you. Listen closely, and you'll hear the lively chatter of cockatoos and the distant laughter of kookaburras echoing through the trees.
The Eucalyptus candle beckons you to delve into a tale as ancient as time itself, a story of steadfastness and resilience woven into the fabric of the Australian landscape. Picture thousands of years ago, a mother gathering eucalyptus leaves to soothe her jarjum's husky cough—a testament to nature's own pharmacy hidden within the branches of these majestic trees.
Our Eucalyptus Candle captures the very essence of the bush, with top notes of eucalyptus and lemon evoking the crisp freshness of a sunlit day amidst the gum trees. Each inhale brings rejuvenation and vitality, as if you're embarking on a leisurely stroll through the untamed wilderness.
Yet, it's the middle notes of lemon verbena and lavender that add a touch of serenity to the narrative, transforming the bustling energy of life into a tranquil oasis. And as the base notes of tea tree and jasmine gently linger in the air, you'll find yourself transported to a realm where the ancient wisdom of Aboriginal culture intertwines seamlessly with the healing power of nature.
So ignite our Eucalyptus Candle and let its fragrance envelop your space with the spirit of the Australian bush. It's more than just a candle—it's a homage to resilience, healing, and the enduring bond between humanity and the land.

A great candle experience begins with proper candle care and maintenance. Here are some important burning tips for enjoying your Little Black Duck candle:
1. Preventing memory rings.
Believe it or not, candles have a memory and the very first time you burn your new candle is the most important. Ensure you burn your candle long enough to completely melt the entire top surface of your candle. If the wax is not allowed to liquefy or to melt from edge to edge of the container, it will create a “memory ring,”. Once a candle has this “memory ring,” it will continue to tunnel and to burn that way for the life of the candle. And no one wants that!
2. Trim your wick.
Before lighting, always trim the wick to 6mm and remove any wick debris as this encourages an even burn.
3. Be safe.
Always burn your candle on a heat resistant surface, keep it out of drafts and NEVER leave it unattended while lit. Always burn candles well away from other heat sources, and anything flammable. Make sure burning candles are out of reach of children and pets.
4. Goodbye is the hardest word.
KNOW WHEN TO SAY GOODBYE. When only 1/2" of wax remains, it's time to let your candle go. Discontinue use of a candle when ½” of wax remains at the bottom of the jar. This will prevent possible heat damage to the counter/surface or container itself. The glass can get hot on the bottom as the flame nears the base of the jar and most of the wax has been consumed. By following this instruction, the glass will not get too hot.
5. Know your limit.
Candles should not be burned for more than four hours at a time. It is recommended that after burning for four hours, candles be extinguished, allowed to cool for two hours, and trimmed before relighting.
As most candles are poured to order, allow a production time of minimum 1 week. This excludes delivery. Sometimes my shelves are fully stocked and i can grab and pack your candle a little more quickly, but to be safe, allow the 1 week minimum.
