Meltz Studio x Exalted Alchemy Custom Candle 

Scent Profile: Orange blossom, neroli, lemon

This vessel was wheelthrown in red stoneware with poured coastal tillandsia glaze. Each piece is handcrafted, please anticipate special variations as each piece is one of a kind. 

Our candle collaboration marries earth with air, friendship and intention, craft and creation. Alex’s draw to the supple freshness of bitter orange blossoms filling the room merge with Jess’s pull to the grounding earth tones of the vessel, mimicking our forest floor. Two friends build inspiration from the other to bring you something magical, ethereal and of the earth.

We invite you to burn this candle with love and intention. Once you have finished your candle, you can reuse your vessel for years to come. We think it makes a great mug, planter for a succulent, or a special place to keep your collected rocks + shells.  

About Meltz Studio 

Founded in 2018, Meltz is the studio practice of artist Alex Meltzer. She creates functional and sculptural work inspired by nature, travel, design and tradition. Each piece is handmade and unique, intended to serve as both a memento and an object to be enjoyed every day. 

Meltz + Exalted Alchemy both find inspiration in bringing elements of the earth into our daily rituals, and we hope this candle and forever vessel do the same for you. 

Exalted Alchemy candles feature an apricot-coconut wax with an all-natural and non-toxic scent blend that contains a mix of essential oils and all natural fragrance oil. The fragrance oil we work with is blended from essential oils and is free from all carcinogens, toxins, mutagens, parabens, phthalates, and PFAFs. We choose to use this blend as it is the most sustainable option. Essential oils have a strong environmental impact, are quite unsustainable, and should be used sparingly and conscientiously. We use apricot-coconut wax, which we find to be the softest and most sustainable wax for our candles. This wax is even cleaner than traditional soy based waxes. 

Our candles, and all of the ingredients used, are vegan, cruelty-free and biodegradable. We encourage our customers to reuse candle jars by simply peeling off the label and removing the wax from inside the jar. To most effectively remove residual candle wax we recommend freezing it or using boiling water.
