Introducing the signature candle of the St. Louis Alumnae chapter of Gamma Phi Beta!

Inspired by our annual Wine and Cheese event, the Chardonnay and Citrus candle features the energizing scents of Chardonnay with freshly squeezed Grapefruit and Yuzu.  This candle is perfect to enjoy all year round, especially when you want to spark that feeling of relaxing with your Gamma Phi sisters on a balmy day.  Made of natural soy wax, this 8 ounce candle features a classic white jar and silver lid. And, the best part? 30% of every purchase is donated back to Gamma Phi Beta! 

Handpoured in St. Louis, Missouri in small batches. Burns 60 hours.
