Fischersund Candle No. 23
The Fischersund No. 23 scented candle is made using recycled soy wax and essential oils extracted from wild Icelandic herbs. It is hand-poured into its smoked black glass container. Its scent is smoky and addictive with notes of aniseed, black pepper, tobacco seeds and Icelandic Sitka spruce.
Smoke in the air and tarred telephone poles, tall freshly mowed grass, and tobacco leaves. Dead flowers bow to the ground. In the breeze, the feminine fountain pine tickles the top of your skull. A beached whale is about to explode.
7.7 oz / 220 gr.
Caution: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from flammable materials, children and pets. Only burn this candle on a level heat resistant surface. Container might get hot.
Handmade in Iceland. Ingredients wildcrafted sustainably.

Returns
We do not accept returns of perfumes, simply because perfumes can't be resold once they've been opened and used. We encourage you to order samples before purchasing full bottles of perfume. And here's the good news — with every sample purchased, we'll send you a coupon code that allows you to redeem the cost of the sample and sample shipping if you buy a full bottle of the fragrance you tried (in other words, you get $10 off).
Please contact orders@ministryofscent.com if you have a question or issue related to your order or shipping.
Sample Orders
Samples are designed to help you evaluate scents you might want to later purchase as a full bottle. You may order one sample per fragrance, up to 15 total in a single order. Samples are non-refundable.
For sample orders, please check your packing slip for a special code that will allow you to redeem the price of samples and sample shipping when purchase full bottles of the scents you sample ($10 off full bottles).
Complimentary Samples
We provide complimentary samples with $75+ full bottle purchases. You may request up to 3 samples with any qualifying order. Please use the Order Note section on the Shopping Cart overlay to let us know which complimentary samples you would like. We'll try to provide the scents you've requested, but substitutions may occur if items are out of stock.
I bought this and the 101 candle from Fischersund. I love their unique, earthy scents, but they both tunneled immediately within an hour of lighting them for the first time. I trimmed the wicks as I usually do, so I don't think there is anything I should have done differently. Unfortunately, the tunneling is so bad for both candles that measures I've taken in the past to correct some unmelted wax around the edges are insufficient here. Even if I re-melt the top layer and extend the length of the wick to compensate for what gets covered by the freshly melted wax, they just begin tunneling again on the next burn. At this price point, the poor performance is a shame.
