Surly Momma Cat’s Black Cherry Merlot is a rich, fruity, and sophisticated fragrance that fills your space with the deep, inviting aroma of dark cherries and wine. Hand-poured with 100% natural soy wax, this scent opens with bright notes of black currant and crisp apple, offering a sweet and slightly tart introduction.
At the heart, luscious black cherry blends with bold red wine and warm clove, creating a complex, juicy middle that evokes the richness of a full glass of merlot. It’s perfectly balanced with just the right hint of spice.
The scent finishes with a smooth base of creamy vanilla, aged oak, and golden amber, adding warmth and depth that lingers beautifully in the air. The result is a bold yet elegant fragrance — fruity, slightly boozy, and rich with cozy undertones.
Each 10 oz candle is poured into a clear glass jar with a clean-burning, lead-free, paper core cotton wick, offering up to 80 hours of burn time. Our 2.5 oz wax melts deliver the same luscious scent, perfect for flameless enjoyment. Both are crafted with phthalate-free fragrance oils, safe for your home, family, and furry companions.
Black Cherry Merlot is perfect for cozy evenings, special occasions, or anytime you want to fill your space with the luxurious scent of fruit, spice, and oak — thoughtfully crafted by Surly Momma Cat Candles.

from 28 reviewsThe scents are STRONG and last a long time, the fill my two bed, two bath apartment and last a long time!

I got this at the Virginia State Fair and was hooked!!!! My sisters and I got a bunch of candles from them, and all the scents are heavenly, but this was by far my favorite. I'm 100% getting more and recommending them to everyone I know!!

Very nice , melts well with good scent. A pleasure doing business with Surly Momma Cat. Will continue to buy from them.

I’ve never used a wax warmer or melts prior to this purchase but they provided thoughtful insight when I purchased this product and it works really well! I love the handmade scent that came with it and I fully intend on purchasing more!
The wax melts are the best I’ve bought. They keep their scent even after 3 or 4 uses.

Love love the mistletoe candle ! .. reminds me of my childhood at Christmas 🎄

We bought these candles at a winery last fall and then ordered some more! They are soy candles that small great, burn clean and last a long time. I don’t think I’m ever buying any other jar candles again!

Obsessed, met & discovered the brand at the ren fair this year and immediately ordered 8 more for an insanely great price. I will rave about this! 10/10

These wax melts smell amazing! They have such a clean smell to them. My whole house smells wonderful! I bought one pack (plus other scents) at a local event and immediately ordered more once I got home!

My favorite purchase from our visit to the Renaissance Faire in 2023 was this candle! I can't wait to find this booth again. If I don't see you next weekend, I'll buy it again online!

Shipped quickly, arrived in mint condition and superb smelling candles!

I love the scents of these candles and they help get rid of any cat smells lingering in the air.
