Garlic Candle Small, sculptural, and steeped in legend, the Garlic Candle is a hand-finished tribute to one of the most mythic ingredients in the natural world. Each bulb is carefu lly formed to capture the undulating shape of real garlic, its clustered cloves rendered in soft, natural wax with subtle tonal depth. Garlic has long held a place in global folklore, from medicine to magic. In Central and Eastern Europe, it was believed to ward off evil, used in white magic and carried for protection against demons, werewolves, and vampires. In ancient Korean mythology, it even held the power of transformation: a bear, eating nothing but garlic and mugwort for 100 days, was said to become a woman, giving rise to the kingdom of Gojoseon. With a 2-hour burn time, the Garlic Candle is both grounding and enchanting, a small yet potent presence for any setting. All-natural. Folkloric and fragrant. A sculptural ward against the ordinary.

FRAGILE - Please remember that natural wax is a soft and delicate material, so some imperfections may be present on the surface. Natural waxes will 'bloom', this is a natural reaction to the environment which means the candle may appear 'dusty'. This is very easy to remove with a warm hand or quick blast with a hairdryer. H&S - Candle safety; - NEVER leave a burning candle unattended.- Always put candles on a heat resistant surface, taper candles will need a stable, heat-resistant holder with a wide footprint to prevent them falling over.- Keep burning candles away from things that can catch fire (e.g. curtains, other fabrics, furniture, hair). Keep candles out of draughts. Don’t put under shelves (there should be at least one meter between a candle and any surface above it).- Candles should be kept out of reach of children and pets - consider where you place them in your home carefully.- Make sure to leave at least 10cm between two burning candles - candles like to 'jump' between each other.- Trim your wick when needed to maintain a height of 0.5cm.- Keep wax pool clear of matches and debris to prevent reignition.- Extinguish candles before moving them. Make sure candles are completely extinguished.- CANDLES ARE NOT FOOD, NOT TOYS AND SHOULD NEVER BE EATEN. Show more
