North Sky Demi Vanity Tin Scented Candle

North Sky is a small scented candle poured into an iron tin with its own lid. It stands 5.7cm tall and 6.5cm across, holds 85g of soy paraffin wax around a cotton wick, and has a burn time of 20 hours, which makes it a candle for short, regular lighting rather than one big centrepiece. The wax is blue, and the tin is printed all the way round with sprigs of evergreen and clusters of berries, so it looks just as good sitting unlit on a shelf as it does with the flame going. It arrives with a wrap-round label carrying the North Sky name, and at 0.16KG it is light enough to carry from room to room.

Its compact size suits the small surfaces where a larger candle would crowd things: a bedside table, a dressing table beside a mirror, the corner of a desk, or a side table in a home office. With the lid on, it tucks neatly into a drawer or onto a shelf between uses, so it is easy to keep to hand. It makes a good small present too: easy to wrap, pleasing to open, and sized for a friend, a colleague or a host when you visit. Lighting it while you read, work or wind down at the end of the day is exactly the kind of use a small candle like this suits best.

The vessel is iron, a sturdy material for a candle tin, finished with a rolled edge at the base and a lid that fits over the top. A single cotton wick sits in the centre of the blue soy paraffin wax. For a small display, set it on a tray with taller candles or beside a mirror, where the printed tin can be seen from every side and the flame catches the reflection. The styling props shown are not included.
