Exhibit 002: Lavender and Sage Candle

Admitted for: lavender with an alibi — sage, lime, and fern keep it green and awake where most lavender goes sleepy and sweet, a peppered, mossy middle that gives the calm some spine, and the scent a room learns to associate with the day being over.

Case Notes: This is the reset candle. Where Exhibit 001 warms a room, this one clears it — the olfactory equivalent of opening a window and closing a laptop. Light it at the transition points: the end of the workday, the start of the slow morning, the hour the house shifts from everyone's to yours. It reads fresh first, settles herbal, and finishes grounded in pine and patchouli. Calm, but never candy.

The Evidence:

• 12 oz soy blend, 50+ hour burn time
• Notes — top: French lavender, lime, sage, fern leaves · middle: dill, pepper, moss, ginger · base: pine, musk, patchouli
• 100% cotton wick · vegan, non-GMO, phthalate-free
• Wood lid included
• Made in Pittsburgh, PA

Care: Trim wick to 1/4" before each burn. Let the wax pool reach the vessel's edge to prevent tunneling. Never burn longer than 4 hours or leave unattended.
