Description
North Sky is a scented candle poured into a silver crackle glass tumbler, with a fine web of cracks running through the glass and a mirror-like shine on the inside that catches the flame once it is lit. It stands 11.5cm tall and 12cm across, a generous size for a single cotton wick, and holds 610g of a soy and paraffin wax blend. The maker gives a burn time of 80 hours, so this is a candle to come back to evening after evening rather than one to save for a single occasion.
The scent notes printed on its packaging are ebony woods at the base, a heart of black currant and a lift of sugared citrus, a rich, fruity blend that suits winter evenings, a dinner with friends or a quiet night in with a book. At 1.13KG it has a reassuring weight and sits steadily on a hallway console, a mantelpiece, a sideboard or the middle of a dining table. The rounded tumbler shape looks just as good unlit in the daytime, when the silver glass picks up the light from a window, and it makes a thoughtful present for anyone who likes a woody scent.
The vessel is glass with a crackle finish: a network of fine lines over a silver surface, softly speckled, with a clean rim and a body that tapers gently to a rounded base. The wax is a soy and paraffin blend with a cotton wick set in the centre, and it fills the glass close to the rim, so you see a broad, smooth surface of wax as soon as you look in. For styling, we like it grouped with a couple of plain candles at different heights on a metal tray, or placed in front of a mirror so the crackled glass and its flame are doubled in the reflection. The styling props shown are not included.
