Description
This is a small scented candle poured into a lidded iron tin, with its name, Winter White, printed on a white label that wraps around the side among a pattern of fine branches. The tin is 6.5cm across and 5.7cm tall, so it sits comfortably in one hand and takes up very little room. Inside is 85g of soy and paraffin wax around a cotton wick, and the maker gives a burn time of 20 hours. That makes it a candle to light in shorter spells, an evening here and there, rather than a large centrepiece for the dining table.
Its size suits the smaller surfaces around a home: a bedside table, the corner of a desk, a bookshelf or a mantelpiece where a tall pillar candle would crowd things. As a scented candle rather than a plain one, it belongs in a room where you settle for a while, such as a bedroom, a reading nook or a small sitting room. The lid and the printed label also make it an easy present, whether as a thank you, a stocking filler or a small addition to a larger gift, and the wintry name suits the colder months of the year.
The container is iron, with a lid that sits on top and a wider rim at the base, and the whole candle weighs 0.16KG, light enough to carry from room to room or pack for a weekend away. The wick is cotton and the wax is a blend of soy and paraffin, as the maker states it. With the lid on, the tin stays neat and tidy on a shelf between uses. For styling, group it with a couple of glass tealight holders and a sprig of pine cones on a painted shelf, where the white tin sits quietly in a calm winter arrangement.
