Avalanche Lake
The Wander Mood - Chandlers Pride
There is a trail in Montana’s Glacier National Park that winds through old cedars and along a rushing creek before the trees finally open up and the lake appears. The water is impossibly clear, cold, and still, ringed by towering cliffs where ribbons of waterfalls spill down from the snow above. The air is sharp and clean, and it takes your breath away before you’ve even reached the shore.
Avalanche Lake was made for that feeling.
It opens with refreshing eucalyptus, cool menthol, and bright citrus, a brisk, invigorating rush like the first deep breath of mountain air. Crisp juniper berry and aromatic lavender drift through the heart, fresh and green, carrying the scent of evergreens and wild alpine meadows. It’s cool without being cold and fresh without being sharp, a scent that wakes up every corner of the room.
Underneath it all, soft musk and mountain woods ground everything in the forest along the shore. Steady, earthy, and untamed. The kind of base that feels like solid granite and ancient trees that have watched over the water for centuries.
This is the candle you light when you need to feel wide awake and alive again. When you want your space to feel like the moment the trail opens up and the whole world comes into view.

Avalanche Lake Smells Like
Cold mountain air and the first glimpse of water at the end of the trail.
Candle Care & Safety Tips
Our coconut apricot wax is soft, creamy, and burns clean and slow. A little care helps every candle give you its best scent and longest life.
The first burn matters most
Let your candle burn until the melted wax reaches the edges of the jar, about 1 hour for every inch across. This sets the “memory” of the wax and prevents tunneling.
Trim before every light
Trim the wick to about ¼ inch before each burn. A shorter wick means a steady flame, less soot, and a cleaner jar.
Keep burns to 4 hours or less
Longer burns can cause the wick to mushroom and the jar to overheat. Let the candle cool completely before relighting.
Avoid drafts
Fans, open windows, and vents can cause uneven burning and flickering. A calm spot gives you the most even melt.
Know when to say goodbye
Stop burning when about ½ inch of wax remains at the bottom. Once cool and clean, the jar is ready to reuse.
Safety first
- Never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Keep away from children, pets, curtains, and anything flammable.
- Always burn on a stable, heat-safe surface.
- The jar can get hot. Do not touch or move it while lit or while the wax is melted.
- If the flame gets too high or starts smoking, extinguish it, let it cool, and trim the wick.
- Never use water to put out a candle. Use a snuffer or gently cover it.
Thank you for bringing a little Chandlers Pride glow into your space.
