I Love You So Matcha — Soy Wax Dessert Candle for Romantic Gifting
Warm sandalwood, like incense in a temple courtyard. Quiets a room.
Dark rose over smoky oud. Rich and grown-up — an evening scent.
Rose and saffron, the way a Kashmiri wedding smells. Warm and celebratory.
Fresh jasmine over green tea. Light and clean, never heavy.
Soft vanilla and amber. Cosy and sweet without being sickly.
Cardamom and musk — chai spice, with more depth than sweetness.
Marshmallow, almond and vanilla. A bakery at opening time.
Ripe mango and coconut. Bright and fruity, summer in a jar.
Wet earth just after the first rain. Green, cool and grounding.
Sea salt and sun-bleached wood. Airy, like a coastal morning.
Cedar and cool pine air. Crisp, calm, a hill-station morning.

Burn & care
Trim the wick to 5 mm before every burn. This is the single thing that most affects how your candle performs — an untrimmed wick smokes, mushrooms and burns through wax far faster.
First burn: let it run 2–3 hours until the melt pool reaches the edge. Soy wax has a memory; if the first burn tunnels, every burn after it will tunnel.
In Indian summers: keep candles out of direct sunlight and away from a hot windowsill. Soy softens above roughly 35°C. If a piece softens in transit it re-firms in a cool room within a couple of hours.
Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from curtains, children and pets.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Where should I put the I Love You So Matcha?
Study · bedroom. Whisked green tea.
What does the I Love You So Matcha smell like?
Matcha · Grass · Warm Milk. This is a signature scent — the fragrance is part of the product, so it is not offered in the twelve-fragrance library.
Is the I Love You So Matcha a good gift?
It is bought most often for corporate gifting, Rakhi gifts. Add a gift note free at checkout — we print it on a card, or write it by hand in ink at no extra cost. Gift parcels never include a price or invoice.
Is this edible?
No. It is a candle made to look like mithai or dessert, and it must never be eaten. Keep it out of reach of children and pets, who are the most likely to be fooled by it.
Does it smell like the dessert it looks like?
Yes — each dessert candle is scented to match, using IFRA-certified fragrance oils at an 8–10% load, so the scent is noticeable without being cloying in a small room.
