Before Sunrise Candle
Sweet, creamy and wonderfully decadent, the Milk Jar Before Sunrise Candle blends golden honey with soft milk and fresh vanilla. The fragrance is reminiscent of honeycomb ice cream—rich and comforting without becoming overly sugary.
Part of Milk Jar’s Elevated Collection, Before Sunrise is made with a high-grade blend of fragrance and essential oils. It is hand-poured in Calgary using natural coconut-soy wax and a crackling wooden wick.

How to Burn Your Milk Jar Candle
- Trim the wooden wick to approximately 2–3 mm before each burn.
- Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts.
- During the first burn, allow the melted wax to reach close to the edge of the vessel to help prevent tunnelling.
- Keep the candle away from children, pets and flammable materials.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended.
If the flame becomes unusually large, extinguish the candle, allow it to cool and trim the wick before relighting. Always follow the complete safety instructions on the candle label.
A Sweet Canadian Candle for Gifting
Before Sunrise is a thoughtful choice for anyone who enjoys gourmand candles but wants something smoother than a bakery or dessert fragrance. The milk and vanilla soften the honey, creating a warm scent that works beyond a particular season.
It makes an inviting birthday, housewarming, host or self-care gift—especially for honey lovers and anyone who believes a slow morning is a luxury worth protecting.
A Candle That Gives Back
