Candle care
On the first burn, let it burn about 4 hours, until the melted wax reaches the edge. This prevents tunneling. Trim the wick to 1/4" before each burn, keep it away from drafts, and dip the wick to put it out.
Shipping & returns
Free shipping on US orders of $70 or more. We also ship to Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and the Bahamas (shipping calculated at checkout).
Unused items in their original packaging can be returned within 10 days. Unburned candles can be exchanged at our downtown Kalamazoo store for another scent anytime. If anything arrives broken, email candle@kalamazoocandle.com with a photo and we’ll make it right.

Amazing summer scent!
I love this scent! It’s citrusy but unique. It fills up my entire kitchen with fresh smelling goodness. What I love more though is how well it burns- pools out completely and IS NOT SOOTY!Kristin

Best Candle for Fall!!
Such a gender neutral, warm scent. Makes you want to curl up with a blanket, watch a movie, and open your windows to catch some cool autumn breezes (and make everyone outside jealous of your candle scent)!Hannah D.

Obsidian is my favorite!
Obsidian is a nice, bright, citrusy scent. It is strong but not overpowering. I love to burn it on a cold, dreary winter day when I’m looking to boost my spirits. Works every time! It burns cleanly if you follow the candle burning instructions that they include in your purchase. I highly recommend Kalamazoo Candle Company and their awesome candles!Kristen O.

Horrible candle no smell when your burning . Expensive. Never buy again .
Denah K.Verified buyer
Reply from Kalamazoo Candle Co.
Hi Denah, I’m sorry to hear that you’re finding your candle to have no fragrance! This is not a common thing that we hear but are grateful you have reached out and expressed your concerns.
A factor that could be playing into your candle having "no smell" is that, by design, our candles are only meant to fill a room, never to overpower it. We like to keep things a bit more balanced that some other brands! Your nose may also be expecting a stronger scent so it’s possible the fragrance from our candles may be overlooked. We completely understand that our candles aren’t for everyone!
I have gone ahead and refunded your purchase. Wouldn't want you to have spent money on a bad experience. Feel free to reach out to us by email if you have any other questions or concerns about our candles. Hope you'll give us another chance some day.
All the best,
Adam, owner -

As an allergy suffer, candles often trigger my allergies, and itchy eyes. Kalamazoos SOY candles burn clean and smell great! Not over powering, but just right. Will forever recommend Kalamazoo candle company. Obsidian is my favorite (lavender is my boyfriends favorite).Emerson

Hey, Kazoo Candle!
Marcy from Michigan here, to rave about your products.
Both my brothers and I love your Obsidian candle.
I've lived in the Boston area for almost 50 years, and they live out-of-state, too.
So it's not just the candle that's cool.
It's the brand. And its place.
Made in Michigan, with love, gives us great gladness.

You'll never want to leave your house
When we visited KCC they told us that Obsidian is one of their top sellers, and rightfully so! This candle has an amazing smell and unlike some other candles companies, it doesn't lose its fragrance over time. It smells just as great and just as strong as it continues to burn. Absolutely worth every penny!Kelsie L.

Inhale the good...
This candle is BY FAR one of my favorite scents in candle making history. Somehow they got the citrusy scent to pair with a cedar scent perfectly. It’s a good thing my favorite scented candle is others as well because I don’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t get this scent year round!Autumn B.
