Handcrafted Quality: Hand poured by the Borntrager family from 100% natural soy wax grown in the Midwest, with a self-trimming cotton wick that tends itself as it burns. No factory line, just careful work done the slow way. A True Watermelon Candle: The fragrance is Pink Watermelon Lemonade, with juicy watermelon and a tangy twist of lemon right at the top. If you want a watermelon candle that smells like the fruit itself, this is the one. Sixteen Ounces of Summer: Each candle holds 16 oz of soy wax, measures 3 inches across and 5 inches tall, and gives about 70 hours of burn time. That is enough to carry you through a whole season of warm evenings. The Rest of the Scent: Ripe strawberry and pineapple fill the middle notes, with a quiet touch of gardenia underneath the fruit. Sweet, but never heavy. Sunset Coral Color: The wax is tinted a soft coral, a nod to a summer evening sky. It looks at home on a porch table or kitchen windowsill even before you light it. Gift Ready: Ships with no prices in the box, and you can add a free gift note at checkout. It arrives ready to hand over. One or a Pair: Choose a single candle, or pick the 2 Candles option, a pair of this same candle priced lower per candle than buying two singles. Keep one and give one. American Heritage: Hand poured by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border, shipped free, with returns accepted, no questions asked. We stand behind everything the families make. A good watermelon candle should smell like the ripest slice of the fruit, and that is exactly where the Amish Prairie Melon begins. The scent is Pink Watermelon Lemonade, juicy watermelon and a tangy twist of lemon right at the top, the kind of sweetness that belongs to picnic tables and long July evenings. The Borntrager family hand pours each 16 oz candle from 100% natural soy wax grown here in the Midwest, and the soft coral color of the wax carries a little of that summer sunset even before you strike a match. If you have been hunting for a watermelon scented candle and keep finding cucumber melon instead, this is a different thing altogether. There is no cucumber here, just true watermelon and lemonade, with ripe strawberry and pineapple through the middle and a light touch of gardenia beneath the fruit. And because the wax is pure soy, you may notice a bit of white frosting on the surface now and then. That is simply the nature of natural soy wax. It does not change the scent or the burn, and it often fades as the candle warms. Think of this as the summer candle in our farmhouse line. Folks rotate these scents with the seasons, and this is the one for the warm months, lit for porch evenings and kitchens after supper. One customer titled her review simply melon candle and wrote, "I love this candle, I love all the candles." Another bought it as a birthday gift for a friend who loves candles. With about 70 hours of burn time in each one, and a two candle option priced lower per candle, it is an easy way to keep one for yourself and set one aside for giving. If you are gathering summer scented candles for the season, this is the place to start. Like everything in our store, this candle comes from a real Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border. The Borntragers pour each one by hand, the same unhurried way the community weaves its baskets, and we ship it free and gift ready, with no prices in the box. If it is not what you hoped, send it back, no questions asked. Light it as the evening cools, let the watermelon and lemon drift through the room, and keep a little of summer going as long as you like.
