Description
The same garden-fresh, deconstructed Strawberry that makes the 9oz candle so unexpectedly sophisticated - in a 2.35oz votive format ideal for trying the scent, burning in smaller spaces, or gifting to someone who deserves something genuinely distinctive. At 25 hours of burn time, the Strawberry Votive delivers the full scent arc: the tart, green brightness of Sparkling Bergamot and Mara Strawberry in the Top Notes, the soft Jasmine and Woodland Greens of the heart, and the earthy warmth of Cedarwood, Oakmoss, and Orris Root in the base. Not a sweet strawberry. A real one. Hand-poured with a vegetable wax blend and cotton wick for a clean, even burn.
Who's It For
The Strawberry sceptic who needs a low-stakes way to be convinced, the existing fan who wants it in the bedroom as well as the living room, or anyone looking for a fresh, genuinely surprising gift that won't be forgotten. The votive is also a natural companion to the 255g candle - same scent, wherever you need it next.
Key Benefits
- A sophisticated entry point into a surprising scent. The votive size makes it easy to try Strawberry without commitment - and this is a scent that consistently converts the sceptical.
- Fresh and alive in smaller spaces. The Strawberry Votive's green, slightly tart character is particularly effective in bathrooms, bedrooms, and compact spaces where a lighter, fresher candle works best.
- Genuinely distinctive gifting choice. Most people receive florals or vanilla candles as gifts. Strawberry Votive is the one they haven't encountered before - and that makes it memorable.
- Complete scent arc in 25 hours. Top Notes through Base Notes, fully expressed across the votive's burn - the same quality and complexity as the full candle, just sized differently.
- Vegetable wax blend, cotton wick. Same clean burn specification as the full 255g candle.
Scent Profile
- Top Notes: Sparkling Bergamot, Mara Strawberry, Pink Pepper
- Middle Notes: Jasmine Petals, Jasmine Lactone Captive, Woodland Greens
- Base Notes: Cedarwood, Oakmoss, Captive Musks, Orris Root
The votive opens with the same bright, slightly surprising combination as the full candle: Sparkling Bergamot fills the space with citrus energy, Mara Strawberry adds its realistic, tart, green-fruit character, and Pink Pepper cuts through both with dry, spiced heat. It's fresh and distinctive from the first light.
The Middle Notes arrive softly - Jasmine Petals and Jasmine Lactone Captive adding a warm, slightly creamy floral quality alongside the herbaceous freshness of Woodland Greens.
The base settles in dryly and beautifully: Cedarwood brings warmth, Oakmoss adds complex earthy depth, Captive Musks provide persistence, and Orris Root ties everything together with a powdery, refined elegance. A garden in a votive.
Key Ingredients
- Mara Strawberry - The hero accord - realistic, tart, and green rather than sweet or synthetic. The defining ingredient of the entire Strawberry collection and what makes this votive so genuinely distinctive.
- Pink Pepper - The dry, spiced Top Note that gives the opening its sophistication and prevents the fruit from reading as sweet or confected. Essential to the scent's character.
- Jasmine Lactone Captive - A synthetic aroma molecule that amplifies the creamy, warm aspects of jasmine in the Middle Notes, adding richness and depth to the heart of the votive.
- Oakmoss - A classic Base Note ingredient with a complex, earthy, slightly damp character that gives the votive's dry-down its depth and lasting room presence.
- Orris Root (Iris pallida) - A powdery, woody Base Note distilled from iris rhizomes that adds elegance and a refined softness to the lingering finish.
How To Use
Trim the wick to 6mm (1/4") before each use. Allow the votive to burn for at least 1-2 hours on the first use until the wax pool reaches the vessel's edges. Do not burn for more than 3 hours at a time. Place on a heat-resistant, non-flammable surface away from drafts and out of reach of children and pets. Discontinue use when 1.3cm (1/2") of wax remains. Pair with the Strawberry 255g Candle and the Strawberry EDP or Perfume Oil for the full Strawberry scent experience across home and personal fragrance.
Why MASC Recommends This
Strawberry Votive is our go-to recommendation when someone wants a gift that will genuinely surprise - fresh, distinctive, and completely unlike the standard candle gift. It's also the best way to introduce the Strawberry collection to someone who might not immediately reach for it themselves. Once they've burned through a votive, the 255g candle tends to follow.
