Description
This is a small scented candle set in a lidded iron tin, and its scent is the coconut milk and mango of its name. It holds 85g of soy paraffin wax around a single cotton wick, with a burn time of 20 hours, which makes it a compact candle for a small room rather than a large centrepiece. The tin is 6.5cm across and 5.7cm tall, low and squat, and the whole piece weighs 0.16KG. Its outside is pink, wrapped in a loose, painterly pattern of leaves and brushstrokes with a metallic sheen that catches the light once the wick is lit.
Its size suits the places a bigger candle would crowd: a bedside table, the corner of a desk, a bathroom shelf beside the basin or a narrow windowsill. Coconut milk and mango make a sweet, fruity pairing, a good match for a bedroom or a bathroom at the end of the day. Because the tin has its own lid, it slips easily into a bag or a drawer, so it suits a weekend away or a guest room that is only used now and then. It also makes an easy small present: a thank-you for a host, a birthday extra or something to tuck in beside a larger gift.
The tin is iron, the wick is cotton and the wax is soy paraffin. A rolled rim finishes the base of the tin, and the lid carries a wrap label of its own in a leafy pattern that differs from the tin's, so the two read as a matching pair. Iron is a sturdy metal, so the tin keeps its shape, and between uses the lid keeps dust off the wax. For styling, set the open tin on a small tray or a short stack of books with the lid leaning beside it, and let the two patterns sit side by side.
