Lemongrass | Travel Soy Wax Candle

Jamaicans Call It Fevergrass. There Is a Reason.

The Lemongrass Travel Soy Candle is a 5.2oz hand-poured natural soy wax candle scented with pure Jamaican lemongrass (Fevergrass) essential oil, presented in a TSA-approved travel tin. In Jamaica, lemongrass is not simply a herb — it is a remedy. Known locally as Fevergrass and growing wild across the island for generations, it has been used in Jamaican folk medicine to treat fevers, promote deep sleep, boost immunity, relieve pain, and restore the body from the inside out. Every Jamaican grandmother knew it. Many had it growing right in the yard.

The essential oil's clean citrus aroma is immediately uplifting, with powerful anti-inflammatory and calming properties. The natural citral compound soothes the nervous system, melts away stress, and quiets anxiety with every breath. Light this aromatherapy candle and feel your shoulders drop.

Hand poured in small batches using natural soy wax and pure essential oils, this 5.2 oz travel tin candle is one of the most thoughtful Jamaican gifts you can give, or keep for yourself. TSA approved and sized perfectly for your carry-on, hotel room, or home, it brings the healing tradition of the Jamaican countryside into every space you enter.

Fresh. Restorative. Rooted in Jamaica.

Frequently asked questions about the Lemongrass candle

Common questions about the wax, scent, burn time, and travel. If your question isn't here, email shop@homesweetjamaica.com.

What is the Lemongrass candle made of?
Hand-poured natural soy wax scented with pure Jamaican lemongrass (Fevergrass) essential oil — no paraffin, no synthetic fragrance oils. It's a 5.2oz / 147g candle in a TSA-approved travel tin.
What does it smell like?
Bright, clean, herbaceous citrus — the smell of fresh-cut Jamaican Fevergrass. Lemongrass essential oil contains citral, which is uplifting and calming at the same time. It smells like a country morning in the parishes.
How long does it burn?
Approximately 25–30 hours of burn time at 5.2oz. To maximize burn, let the wax pool reach the edges of the tin on the first burn (1–2 hours), and trim the wick to about ¼ inch before each subsequent burn.
Is it TSA-approved for carry-on?
Yes — solid wax candles like this one are permitted in carry-on luggage in the US. The 5.2oz travel tin is sized to fit easily in a carry-on or personal item. (Gel candles have different rules; this is solid soy.)
Where is it made and shipped from?
Hand-poured in small batches and shipped from the United States. Standard total delivery is typically 5–10 business days for US orders. We ship to US addresses only.
What is Fevergrass?
Fevergrass is the Jamaican name for lemongrass — used for generations in Jamaican folk medicine for fevers, sleep, immunity, and stress relief. It grows wild across Jamaica and is a household herb in most yards.
How do I care for the candle?
Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn, let the wax pool reach the tin edges on the first burn (1–2 hours), never burn more than 4 hours at a time, and keep away from drafts. Don't burn the last ¼ inch — the wax protects the wick base.
How is this different from a generic lemongrass candle?
Most lemongrass candles use synthetic fragrance oil for cost reasons. This one uses pure lemongrass essential oil in natural soy wax — cleaner burn, no synthetic off-gas, and the actual aromatherapy properties of citral. It's also part of HSJ's curated Rooted Collection, not a one-off product.
