Ad Astra Candle

Ad Astra Candle

£48.00

Wood | Floral

Ad Astras is an ode to poet and alchemist Virgils’ Aeneid, an epic story of fate and destiny. It is dreamy and fanciful, oozing with sweet scented benzoin and soothing lavender. Grounded by earthly woods and gently infused with balancing florals, this is a meditative scent to relax the mind and transport you to starry nights and astral planes.

Benzoin with its vanilla-like essence has long been used during incense rituals to connect with spirit and facilitate visits to higher realms.

On lighting of the Ad Astra porcelain candle, it first gifts a bright flame and crackle of the wooden wick. The aromatherapy scented wax begins to melt releasing its soothing essence into the air, gently diffusing into your surroundings. As the golden wax is slowly wicked away, the porcelain vessel radiates a beautiful glow to bring warmth and positive energy.

Designed to be kept and refilled, the Ad Astra Candle is mindfully encased in a handcrafted white porcelain beaker, its elegant shape and flared rim is inspired by ceramic vessels used by ancient alchemists in their quest to discover the elixir of life. Finished with a clear glaze internally and externally for durability, the vessel can be easily washed and reused time and time again, long after your candle has burned away.
