Choco-coffee Scented Candles
Somebody in the house likes the smell of a coffee house more than a flower shop. That is what Choco-coffee is — roasted coffee and dark chocolate — and all of them have it. Some have a second scent beside it — Sandalwood, Dream or Sakura. Each full product title says which, so check it before you settle on one.
What separates them is the shape and the size. Pillars, bells, pyramids, a relief rose, a heart and tall relief cones all turn up here, and the spot you have in mind rules out most of them before the scent ever comes into it. Around a table where people are talking, you want something they can see over. A shelf, a console by the door or the floor next to a chair can take height, and an upright shape still reads from the other side of a room. Work out the place before the shape.
Each of them is a paraffin wax blend, and we make every one by hand in Královské Poříčí. If you want to see that for yourself, the camera we keep running in the workshop is live.
Which one fits where, and how long it keeps going
What the spot can take narrows this down fast. Candle medium HEART red-black covers 10x9 cm and weighs 0.18 Kg, with 5-12 hours on it — the shortest run here, so think of it as something for one occasion. Pyramid Candle Rocket 6 asks for 9 cm of width, stands 19 cm, weighs 0.26 Kg and is rated 19-29 hours.
Height does not decide the hours. Pyramid Candle Tetrahedron 4 goes up to 21 cm at 0,23 Kg for 25-30 hours, while Bakus Celebration Candle Brown with Golden Effect sits lower at 18 cm, 6 cm across and 0.3 Kg, yet is rated 39-59 hours. Candle Bells, 13.5 cm tall on 5.5 cm of width and 0.27 Kg, lands on the same 25-30 hours as the tetrahedron.
At the small end, Brown Pillar Candle with Circle Decoration - Choco-Coffee is 7 cm tall and 3.5 cm across at 0.07 Kg — nothing else here weighs so little — with 9-12 hours. Relief Candle ROSE Brown measures 3.5 cm at the bottom and 7 cm at the middle over 9 cm of height, 0.15 Kg, 12-21 hours. Medium Pillar Candle Choco-Coffee reaches 12 cm and 0.2 Kg for 27-36 hours.
Relief Cone Candle Phoenix ON and Relief Cone Candle Phoenix SHE both stand 38 cm on 6 cm of width and are both rated 45-60 hours; the difference on the scales is 1.6 Kg against 1.9 Kg, the heaviest of the lot. Phoenix SHE carries Dream alongside Choco-coffee. Give either of them floor or a surface of its own, with nothing hanging over it.
Shorten the wick each time before you light it. The first burn matters most: let the melted surface spread right out to the edge before you put the flame out, or it will keep to that narrow track afterwards. The rest is routine — something level and non-flammable underneath, moving air kept off it, and a burning one stays where someone can see it, well away from children and animals.
