The Arctic Mariner: The Official Scent of Ice-Cold Focus
Tired of scents that smell like they’re trying to sell you a cruise to a place you can’t afford? Grit & Wick is here to slap some reality back into your home fragrance with the crisp, clean shock of The Arctic Mariner.
This isn't a vacation scent. This is the scent of stoic purpose, a bracing northern wind, and that moment of clarity you get when you realize you are, in fact, capable of doing hard things. It's for those who prefer rugged preparation over soft pampering.
Scent Profile: Clear Head, Steadfast Soul
Forget your sugary fruity cocktails. We've bottled the complexity of a challenging voyage:
-
Winter Mint (Top): A sharp, icy blast that delivers immediate, unvarnished freshness. It clears the fog, focuses the mind, and reminds you to stay sharp—a pure, clean shock, not a candy cane.
-
Bay Rum (Mid): The heart of the scent is the classic, spiced warmth of bay rum. It speaks of distant ports, well-earned breaks, and a sophisticated, adventurous masculinity—a steady warmth against the cold.
-
Worn Leather (Base): The deep, dry rugged anchor of aged leather. It provides a rich, enduring foundation, evoking worn sea bags and dependable gear—the smell of integrity and endurance.
Why You Need This
Light The Arctic Mariner when you need to cut through the BS and get down to business. It’s perfect for the office, the garage, or any space that demands concentration and grit. It’s for the unflappable, the prepared, and anyone who appreciates a scent that is as complex and strong as their resolve.
This candle is the perfect blend of invigorating chill and warming depth, proving that a fresh scent doesn't have to smell like a basket of misplaced produce.
Grit & Wick: Embrace the chill. Conquer the day.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
These aren't your average fruity candles—treat them with the respect they deserve to ensure a long life and maximum throw.
General Maintenance & Safety (The Rules)
- The First Burn: This is the most crucial step. When you first light your candle, allow the entire top surface of wax to melt completely to the edges of the container. This usually takes 2-4 hours, depending on the size. This prevents "tunneling" (where the wick burns straight down the middle) and ensures the candle burns evenly for its lifetime.
- Wick Trimming (The Must-Do): Before every single burn, trim the wick to 1/4 INCH (about 6 mm). Use a wick trimmer or nail clippers. A long wick causes mushrooming, black smoke, and fast burning.
- Burn Time Limit: Never burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Burning longer overheats the container and burns off the fragrance oil too quickly.
- Stop Point: Discontinue use when only 1/2 INCH (1.2 cm) of wax remains at the bottom. Burning past this point can lead to the glass overheating or cracking.
- Placement: Always burn your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, children, pets, and flammable materials (like curtains or papers).
