Because our candles are made with natural unbleached cotton wicks, they require special attention. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO TRIM THE WICK TO 1/8″ BEFORE EVERY USE to prevent damage. For optimum candle performance allow the wax pool to completely liquify, extinguish and let cool. This will allow the candle to burn evenly and completely. Never leave a burning candle unattended or burning for more than 2 hours. Keep away from drafts, children, pets, and all flammable materials.

This may be my favorite Heretic fragrance -- and I have tried most in the Discovery set. It has an edge, but is also very clean and bright. I truly hope it becomes a perfume soon. I would LOVE that. In fact, I think it would also make a beautiful body oil as well so the scent could be layered.
Slightly Bitter is my absolute favorite of my Heretic products. I discovered it this Summer when looking for a citrus candle as I love the bright notes of citrus fragrances, and after burning it for just 20 minutes the delicious smell permeating my kitchen was incredible. Having to work from home has been tough since I live in the Pacific Northwest and so especially during the rainy days my windows are mostly closed. Burning my Slightly Bitter candle for 15-30 creates an inviting and invigorating atmosphere that has helped me make it through the months at home.
