The Message
The message behind this design was inspired by the documentary Coded Bias which explores how the algorithm, driven by machine-gathered data in an attempt to avoid human prejudice, is as biased as the authors of the code. For instance, a few examples of this technology include facial-recognition software that has difficulty detecting dark-skinned users, differentiating between the faces of women, and incorrectly flagging posts of plus-size women at higher rates than their smaller counterparts, when they are covering all necessary parts, as being "sexually explicit" due to a certain percentage of skin being detected, especially for Black women content creators.
If social media’s flawed algorithm has you pressed, close that app, light this candle, and inhale a scent as unique as you are. Formulated to fill your space with juicy notes of fig, orchid, brown sugar, and vanilla, our Fuck the Algorithm candle will transform your space into a self-care sanctuary.

Smells a little more vanilla-y than fig. But very warm and inviting smell.
I'm not a huge fan of overly sweet candles, so I love the depth and complexity of this one. It has a definite sweetness, but underpinned by earthier tones that prevent it from smelling artificial at all. The coconut wax burns clean and slow and I can tell this is going to last a long time compared to my usual candle purchases. Well worth the price!
Everything about this candle was perfect! Local delivery, lovely scent, spot on name and design. There’s also something special about getting a homemade candle. You can really get a sense that a lot of thought and time went into it :) Thank you!!!
I got this for a friend and they Love it, and the name pretty much is how I feel some days! Gotta get one for myself and a few more for gifts! These handmade candles are high quality and beautifully made. Thank you. 💥
