Pale double-wick tumbler with a scent-first maker label
Coriander + Mandarin pairs a pale straight-sided tumbler with a low, wide white label whose strongest line is the scent name. Small production-style details and a faint script signature sit above it; a spaced product descriptor and producer line sit below. Two lit wicks are visible above the label, giving this restrained package a clear candle-use cue. The official source confirms a 14 oz tumbler, soy wax blend and double cotton wick. The citrus and greenery behind the candle communicate the fragrance through photography rather than printed botanical illustration.

Muted warm signature
#BEAB97
Faint script-like signature and small lower supporting line; exact ink color and process unknown.
Typography
Suggested visual alternatives, not confirmed brand typefaces. Any scale below is an illustrative estimate.
The scent name is the broad central headline. Scented Soy Candle sits immediately underneath with a smaller size and wider spacing. Sydney Hale Co. supplies a separate lower maker line. Tiny header details and the pale script introduce a workshop-like register without competing with the scent choice.

Structure & Proportions
Visual proportions and finish previews are illustrative. Confirmed construction details and uncertainties are distinguished in the study notes.
Proportions
| Purpose | Value | Preview |
|---|---|---|
| Label footprint | A low wide rectangle occupies the middle-lower part of the vessel, leaving a noticeable pale band above and below. Its apparent curve comes from the cylinder. | — |
| Scent line width | The paired scent name nearly fills the useful label width, while category and maker lines are shorter or more loosely spaced. | — |
| Wick arrangement | Two distinct wicks sit across the visible wax surface. Their separation is observed, but no spacing dimension or burn-performance inference is made. | — |
Shapes
| Element | Value | Preview |
|---|---|---|
| Straight tumbler | Simple cylindrical body with a shallow visible circular rim and gently softened lower edge. | |
| Wide label | Rectangular panel curves around the body without a printed ornamental frame. | |
| Paired wick points | Two small vertical wick/flame positions across the open top, not a decorative double-logo motif. |

Formats and materials
| Formats | Open straight-sided candle tumbler with a circular mouth and two visible lit wicks. The white front label is broader than it is tall., The official page identifies a 14 oz tumbler and describes a premium soy wax blend with two cotton wicks. It also lists an estimated burn time, which is not a geometric package specification. |
| Materials | Soy wax blend and cotton wick configuration are source-confirmed. The vessel’s exact glass or ceramic composition is not stated on the consulted product page and is not inferred from its pale appearance., The front panel looks like an applied paper label, but stock, adhesive, coating and printing method remain unverified. |
| Closures | The candle is shown open in use. No lid, dust cover, carton or transport seal is visible, and the source details consulted do not establish a specific closure for this photographed presentation. |
| Decoration | Scent-led typographic label with a tiny upper information band and a lower maker signature block., A pale script-like element adds a small change of texture above the scent headline., No coriander or mandarin illustration is printed on the visible front. |
Front Panel
Schematic reading order. The diagram’s zone heights do not represent measured artwork proportions.
Build a compact central hierarchy within a wide label: tiny production details above, a modest script accent, strong scent name, small category, then the maker and a faint supporting line. The scent choice receives priority over the producer without eliminating provenance-like details.
| Zone | Content |
|---|---|
| Tiny upper band | Amount and a small product-code-like mark flank a manufacturing-location line. Not all tiny characters are transcribed or treated as independently verified provenance. |
| Script accent | A faint signature-like flourish introduces a softer texture above the main name. |
| Scent headline | CORIANDER + MANDARIN in spaced dark capitals. |
| Category | SCENTED SOY CANDLE in smaller widely spaced capitals. |
| Maker footer | SYDNEY HALE CO. above a faint animal-rescue support statement. The visible statement is label content, not an independent audit of donations. |
Range System
The official product page links a matching room spray, establishing a cross-format fragrance relationship. Only this candle is visually analyzed; the linked spray’s structure and label are not assumed. A transferable system could keep scent naming stable while clearly changing the category and size fields for each format.
- Retain the paired scent name as the strongest variant identifier across a proposed candle family.
- Use the actual format descriptor when adapting to a room spray rather than preserving Scented Soy Candle wording.
- Keep the pale vessel and restrained typography as a selected-product principle, not proof that every Sydney Hale package uses the same material.
Back of Pack & Shelf
The base is hidden in the photograph. The official page explicitly says candle-use instructions are provided on the bottom, so that location is source-backed even though the label itself is not visible.
- Do not reconstruct the exact base instructions, symbols or layout from the front image.
- For an original candle, allocate a clear bottom information panel compatible with the actual vessel and supplier requirements.
- Verify component material before adding disposal or reuse guidance; pale appearance and soy-blend contents do not establish those claims.
On shelf
The wide scent line supports comparison between variants, while the separated maker line remains available to close reading. The pale tumbler can fit into many domestic settings without a large colored graphic, but its pale-on-pale label edge relies on controlled lighting. The two visible wicks communicate configuration through the product itself. This is an interpretation of the image rather than a measured claim about burn quality or retail recognition.
Imagery
The official image places the lit candle on a pale speckled worktop, with blurred citrus bowls and greenery behind it. The orange and green props refer to the fragrance setting while the white vessel remains the calm foreground focus. Shallow depth of field protects the scent label from competing detail. These props are not proof that whole citrus or herbs are present in the wax, and their colors should not become printed package swatches. Keep both wicks and the whole label visible in a reference crop.
Guidelines
Editorial principles for an original design brief, not official brand guidelines.
Do
- Give the paired scent name the clearest central label position.
- Distinguish source-confirmed wax and wick details from unverified vessel material.
- Keep the two-wick arrangement visible in an appropriate product-use photograph.
- Use small production-style details only when they correspond to real product information.
Don't
- Do not identify the pale tumbler as glass or ceramic without a component source.
- Do not copy the signature or invent a manufacturing location for an original concept.
- Do not treat citrus scenery as printed illustration or a literal ingredient inventory.
- Do not reconstruct hidden base safety instructions merely because their location is confirmed.
