NIC SAGE

An homage to the patron saint of going all the way.

Nicolas Cage has spent decades making the unexpected feel like an art form—moving effortlessly from Oscar-winning performances to action hero, cult icon, internet mythology, and back again. Subtle when he wants to be. Completely unhinged when the moment calls for it. Never boring.

Nic Sage is our small tribute to that particular kind of creative fearlessness.

At the center is Salvia officinalis—sage. For centuries, the herb has been associated with wisdom, protection, healing and longevity. Its name is linked to the Latin salvare: to save or heal, and it became an important medicinal plant in European herbal traditions.

Modern research has started to give some scientific context to that reputation. Studies examining sage and its aroma suggest potential effects on memory, mental alertness, attention and mood. In one controlled study, simply being exposed to the aroma of Salvia officinalis was associated with improved measures of memory and alertness compared with a control.

So, historically associated with wisdom. Scientifically associated with memory and alertness.

And occasionally a little intense.

Sound familiar?

Consider it a candle for committing to the bit. Taking the strange role. Making the weird choice. Stealing the Declaration of Independence if absolutely necessary.

Made with admiration. Nicolas Cage is not affiliated with this candle. We just really respect the range.

scent notes: sage + clary sage + cedar

Ingredients

WAX:
We purchase RAW materials and create a "proprietary" formula: it's nearly 100% soy wax, with a just touch of beeswax to elongate the burn time and give it a smooth-looking finish. Before burning any candle, make sure the ingredients work with your body.

OIL/RESIN:
The reason we include essential oil is because it’s a plant's vital "essence” where energy is stored but also the most highly concentrated nutritional and therapeutic benefits reside. This contains chemical messengers that transmit information throughout the body like a normal medicine or prescription would do. We like to call them:Plant Friends with Benefits.

Care information

Flores Lane Candle Burning Tips

  • - Did you know that wax has a memory?

  • - Be sure to allow 4 hours for your first burn OR until the entire top layer of wax melted to maximize the life of your candle.

  • - Trim the wick to ¼ inch each time before burning.

  • - Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface. This will also help prevent possible heat damage.

  • - Avoid fans, vents or direct access to air currents.

  • - Do not touch or move a burning candle.

  • - Extinguish the candle if the flame becomes too large. Let the candle cool, trim the wick before re-lighting.

  • - Always keep the candle within your sight.

  • - Make sure the candle is completely out before leaving the room.

  • - Use a candle snuffer to extinguish a candle.

  • - Never use water to extinguish a candle.

it's about the ingredients.

In 2010, I was diagnosed with late stage neurological Lyme disease and was unable to leave the house. One thing that always made me feel better was lighting candles. But upon researching the candle ingredients, I realized that I was burning petroleum, coal, & unknown fragrances..I decided to make my own with healthy ingredients.
