In The Woods by The Sister Project is a grounding blend of sandalwood and oud smoke, inspired by slow walks through the forest—especially during that time of year when the air is crisp and carries the quiet crackle of controlled burns. It’s smoky, woodsy, and just a little rugged, like stepping into nature and instantly feeling more like yourself.

This one’s for your inner Paul Bunyan.

Deep, calming, and rich with earthy warmth, it brings the outdoors in—no boots required.

Cozy Candle Care + Burning Tips

For the first burning experience, be sure to allow a few hours for the candle to reach a full melt pool. That’s when the wax meets the jar’s edge. This will prevent wax from tunneling on future burns.

To avoid soot and encourage proper burning, remember to trim your candle wick before each lighting.

Wooden wicks - trim to 3/16”

Lauren’s mindful candle tip: When blowing out a candle before you leave home or for the evening, say to yourself, “I blew you out.” while acknowledging the flame has extinguished. Doing this will keep you from stressing out.

Don’t be like Michelle and power burn your candle. Avoid burning a soy candle for more than 4 hours at a time.

When ½” of wax remains, pour boiling water into the vessel and allow it to sit overnight. By morning, the wax will solidify and float to the top. Remove the wax, and wash with soap and warm water. Use upcycled vessel for votives or flowers.
