Description
Our Balsam & Cedar candle is poured into a crackle glass tumbler with a silver, mirror-like finish. Fine crazed lines criss-cross the glass and catch the light whether the wick is lit or not. It holds 235g of a soy and paraffin wax blend around a cotton wick, and the maker gives a burn time of 40 hours. At 7.5cm across and 9cm tall it is a compact candle, small enough for a bedside table or a narrow shelf, and it weighs 0.45KG in all. Its box describes the scent as oak moss at the base, fir at the heart and a touch of warm cinnamon, an evergreen blend that matches its name.
Being small, it suits spots where a larger candle would crowd things: a dressing table, the corner of a desk, a bathroom windowsill or a gap among books on a shelf. The scent leans towards the colder months, when fir and cinnamon feel most at home, and a lit candle on a mantelpiece or hall table makes a room feel cosy as the evenings draw in. It also makes a ready gift. It comes in a printed box with the scent name on the front and sprigs of evergreen on the sides, so there is little to do beyond adding a card.
The tumbler has straight sides and a gently rounded base. The silver finish carries right up to the rim, and the crackle lines cover the glass all the way round, so it looks finished from any angle. The cotton wick sits in the centre of the wax. For styling, natural textures such as linen, wood and real greenery set off the silver well. Group it with a few plain pillar candles of different heights for a winter table, or stand it on a small tray beside a vase of dried grasses for a quiet still life.
