Description
This scented candle is poured into a round vanity tin, its blue wax filling a compact container that measures 9.7cm across and 8.5cm tall. The scent carries the name Citrus Crush. Inside is 335g of soy paraffin wax on a single cotton wick, and the maker gives a burn time of 50 hours. That figure makes it a candle for everyday lighting rather than one to keep for best: there is enough wax here to come back to it again and again.
Its small footprint suits the places a larger candle would crowd: a bedside table, a bookshelf, a dressing table or the corner of a desk in a home study. It sits happily in a bedroom or a guest room, and on a bathroom shelf it adds scent to a long soak. A deep lid fits over the whole tin, so when the candle is not lit it stays covered, which makes it easy to move from room to room or pack for a weekend away. With the lid on, it also makes a ready-to-give present for a housewarming, a birthday or a simple thank-you.
The container is iron, printed all round with a painterly floral pattern picked out in touches of metallic sheen, while the lid carries its own printed band. Take the lid off and the patterned tin does the decorating; put it back and the candle is tidied away. The whole piece weighs 0.48KG. A metal container will not chip or crack the way glass or ceramic can, which suits a candle that gets carried about the house. For an easy arrangement, set it on a small tray beside a stack of books, or group it with other blue pieces you already own so the wax picks up the colour around it.
