Witte thee + tijm - 8oz kaars (Simple Standards)

The thyme note is what sold me—it cuts through the white tea so the whole room smells like a fancy spa, not a bakery. Burn time feels solid so far, and the 8oz size is perfect for my desk without being overpowering. I've already lit it three evenings in a row.

The dry throw is what sold me—I lit it in the hallway and could smell the white tea and thyme from the living room, which is rare for an 8oz candle. The chrysanthemum note keeps it from being too herbal, more spa-like than kitchen-y. Burned clean all the way down to the last inch.

The scent is beautifully balanced, not too floral or herbal, and it fills my whole living room within minutes of lighting. Burns evenly and the fragrance stays noticeable for hours, which is exactly what I want from an 8oz candle.
