How could we possibly call ourselves The ExMo Candle Co. if we didn't feed your ex-Mormon tapir obsession?
Tapir Saddle marries prairie grass, saddle leather, and amber to evoke adventure. Imagine saddling your trusty tapir, herding together your cureloms and cumoms, and riding forth to new lands.
Forget Tolkien. That's real adventure!
SCENTS
"Tapir Saddle" is a wonderful candle to burn when you're reading a novel or watching an epic movie. The prairie grass and the leather coax the imagination and help you forget that you're living in the 21st century.
• Top Notes: Prairie Grass, Jasmine
• Middle Notes: Leather, Sage, Sandalwood
• Base Notes: Amber, Light Musk, Oakmoss
CANDLE INSPIRATION
"Tapir Saddle" is inspired by the delightful idea that the horses in the Book of the Mormon might actually refer to tapirs. (Yes, this idea has been floated by Mormon apologists.)
Imagine riding into battle in a tapir-pulled chariot! Now that's what I call a marvelous work and a wonder.
QUALITY + SUSTAINABILITY
All ExMo Candles are hand-poured in small batches, and each of our recipes is tweaked and tested before coming online. We take pride in the quality of our candles.
Our candles are also vegan-friendly, made and packaged sustainably, and pthalate-free. Our commitment to sustainability includes a partnership with One Tree Planted, where we donate the money to plant 100 trees for every 100 candles sold.
Finally, the removable labels on our jars make them easy to upcycle. Woohoo!
DISCREET PACKAGING
We know that you might be living with members of the church, or heck, that your mailman might be Mormon. For that reason, we've chosen not to brand our outer packaging in any way. No one will be able to tell from the outside of the box that you've ordered anything related to being an ex-Mormon. This includes the shipping label, which will simply say it's from Jen + Adri.

The "Tapir Saddle" candle is guaranteed to give you 40+ hours of burn time. It comes in a glass jar with an aluminum lid, and it measures 3.5" tall and 2.75" across. The net weight is 7.1 oz.

This candle smells like a fresh, earthy delight, and I would honestly burn it all day if I could.
Jen –
This is one of my favorites, too, Amy! As LOTR nuts, we wanted something that reminded us of Middle Earth…because honestly, the idea of riding tapirs into battle is like something out of The Hobbit! We’re both so happy you like this candle!

Jen –

I love the smell of this candle. I initially bought it as a gift for a friend but ended up giving them something else so I could keep this. I love candles that smell like grass.
Jen –
Hehe, I’ve done that before with things! That puts a huge smile on my face! So glad you like it, Christy!

I have to say, this may be the best smelling candle I’ve ever purchased, period. It’s got some sort of unplaceable nostalgia to it that just gives me such a happy, cozy feeling. It’s also my favorite obscure exmormon reference. I couldn’t contain my excitement when it arrived in the mail in the most thoughtful, quality packaging, with its own matchbox included.
Jen –
Yayyyy! This is one of my personal favorites, too! And hehe… I have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to tapirs. That never DOESN’T make me giggle! I’m so happy you like this candle, Tarien!

Larissa –
Most candle scents are way too overpowering for my husband’s sensitive nose, but Tapir Saddle smells great to both of us! It’s a sophisticated, nuanced fragrance.
Jen –
I’m so happy to hear that, Larissa! Thanks you so much for leaving a review, and here’s to tapir-back adventures across the plains!
Rebekah Calabro –
I got this one as a gift/prize, and it was my first exmo candle! Now I can’t get enough haha.
Usually I wouldn’t necessarily be drawn to grassy or earthy smells but this candle smells just enough like grass to be fresh without you feeling like you’re buried in lawn clippings. Also the saddle leather and other smells give the vibe of riding a horse, I mean a tapir, through fields of flowers. I would def recommend it!
