The plain one. Deliberately.

Size
No flowers, no shells, no sculpture — a single clean pour in a heavy glass tumbler. This is the candle for a desk at midnight or a windowsill above traffic. Everything decorative was left out on purpose; all the work went into the throw.

Coconut-apricot wax blend, 100% cotton wick (lead & zinc free), phthalate-free fragrance oil with natural essential oils. No paraffin, no dyes, no synthetic colourants. Vessel is reusable smoked glass — wash with warm soapy water once the wax is finished.
First burn: 2–3 hours, until the melt pool reaches the edge. This sets the memory and prevents tunnelling. Trim the wick to 5 mm before every burn. Never burn longer than 4 hours at a stretch, and stop when 10 mm of wax remains.
Dispatched within 48 hours via Shiprocket. Metro delivery 2–4 days, rest of India 4–7 days. Free over ₹1,499, otherwise ₹99 flat. Unlit candles can be returned within 7 days. Damaged in transit? Send a photo and we reship.
The Composition
Three acts, sixty-two hours.
Like a perfume, the candle opens with one thing and finishes with another. Here’s the order it arrives in.
How it burns
The room changes three times.
0 – 20 min
The opening
Brightest, sharpest phase. Top notes lift off first and travel furthest — this is the scent that greets someone at the door.
20 min – 2 hrs
The heart
The melt pool reaches full width and the middle notes take over. This is the candle at its truest — what you actually bought.
After you blow it out
The drydown
Base notes are heaviest and cling to fabric and wood. A good candle is still working an hour after the flame is gone.

The throw is genuinely strong without being sweet. It fills my living room in about fifteen minutes and doesn’t give me a headache.

Bought it as a gift and immediately ordered a second for myself. The glass is heavy and the label is beautiful — it doesn’t look like it costs this little.

Burns perfectly even, no tunnelling at all across four burns. Only wish it came in a larger size — happily solved now.
