Description
This scented candle is poured into a green iron tin and carries the Balsam & Cedar name. Inside are 335g of soy paraffin wax and a single cotton wick, and the maker gives a burn time of 50 hours, so it is a candle you can light again and again rather than one saved for a single evening. The tin is 9.7cm across and 8.5cm tall, a squat, compact size that sits easily in one hand and fits on a narrow shelf, and the whole candle weighs 0.48KG.
Because the tin is printed all the way round with sprays of pine needles, it looks finished from any angle and can go wherever it will be seen: a living room shelf, a bedside table, a hallway console or a bathroom windowsill. The evergreen name and the needle print sit naturally with the colder months, when a room wants something to gather round in the evening, and it makes an easy present for anyone drawn to the idea of balsam and cedar in the house. At this compact size it never crowds a small surface.
The vessel is iron, so it is sturdy and holds its shape, and it stands on a slim rolled lip at the base. A fitted lid sits over the top, which keeps dust off the wax between burns and turns the tin into a tidy, closed object on a shelf when the candle is not lit. With the lid off, the wax shows as a deep green with a soft marbled swirl, picking up the tone of the tin around it. For styling, set it on a small tray or a stone coaster with the lid resting beside it, and group it with greenery or a few pine cones when you want the needle print to carry the look further.
