Cocoa and coffee, poured into a candle that smells like a slow morning. Dark Cocoa Artisan Candle Dark Cocoa pairs rich cocoa with roasted coffee for a warm, grounding scent that suits a quiet evening or a slow Sunday morning equally well. It's part of MINZAY's gourmand range, sitting alongside candles like Vanilla Bean and Vanilla Spice for anyone drawn to warm, dessert-adjacent fragrances rather than florals or fresh scents. Each jar is hand-poured in small batches in Pakistan using a 100% bee-soy wax blend, chosen for a cleaner burn than paraffin, and is available in 200ml and 300ml sizes. The natural cotton wick burns smoke-free, and a decorative wax detail finishes the top expect small variations jar to jar since nothing here is machine-poured. Available in 200ml & 300ml 100% bee-soy wax blend Natural cotton wick ~24 hour burn time What It Smells Like Fragrance notes: Coffee, Chocolate. The coffee note leads, giving the candle a roasted, slightly bitter edge, while the chocolate note softens it into something warmer and more rounded. It's less sugary-sweet than a straightforward vanilla candle and better suited to a study, kitchen or living room than a bedroom, if you'd rather keep sweeter scents for sleep spaces.

On the first light, let the wax melt evenly across the full surface of the jar before extinguishing it this sets an even melt pool and helps prevent tunneling on later burns. Place it on a heat-safe, level surface away from drafts and anything flammable. Care & Storage Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it out of reach of children and pets. Stop burning once around 1cm of wax remains. Store the jar somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sunlight between burns, so the scent and wax hold their quality. Disclaimer Fragrance strength depends on your room's size and airflow if you're sensitive to scent, burn it in a well-ventilated space. We haven't tested this candle against a specific room size, so treat any square-footage coverage claims elsewhere with caution. Frequently Asked Questions What does Dark Cocoa smell like? It combines coffee and chocolate notes for a warm, roasted scent that leans grounding rather than sweet. Coffee leads the fragrance, with chocolate rounding it out underneath, which makes it a good fit for anyone who finds typical dessert candles too sugary. What sizes does Dark Cocoa come in? Dark Cocoa is available in 200ml and 300ml jars, so you can choose a smaller size for a desk or side table or a larger one for a bigger room. Estimated burn time on file for this candle is around 24 hours. Is Dark Cocoa suitable for a bedroom, or is it too strong? It can work in a bedroom, but its roasted coffee note is more assertive than our softer florals, so many people prefer it in a living room, study or kitchen instead. If you want something gentler for a bedroom, Vanilla Bean is a softer, creamier alternative in the same gourmand family. What's the difference between Dark Cocoa and Vanilla Spice? Dark Cocoa is built on coffee and chocolate, giving it a roasted, grounding character, while Vanilla Spice pairs vanilla with apple cinnamon for something sweeter and warmer. Both sit in our gourmand range and burn for about 24 hours. What is Dark Cocoa made from? A 100% bee-soy wax blend with a natural cotton wick, hand-poured in small batches in Pakistan. See our bee-soy vs paraffin guide for more on why we use this wax over standard paraffin. Is Dark Cocoa a good gift? Yes, especially for someone who drinks coffee daily or prefers warm, grounding scents over florals. Browse our gift collection or the wider gourmand range for similar options.
