ASTRONAUT Candle – Icy Magenta Glitter, Vanilla & Christmas Punch, Handmade

ASTRONAUT candle – icy magenta glitter, vanilla and Christmas punch fragrance

Dimensions: height 7.5 cm, diameter 4.5 cm. Weight: 0.056 kg. Material: paraffin wax blend, cotton wick. Burn time: 7–10 hours. Handmade in the SVITSOL workshop on the farm in Královské Poříčí (Karlovy Vary Region, near Sokolov).

The ASTRONAUT candle has a rich magenta surface with a fine icy glitter – you can tell at first glance that it is not a candle from a supermarket shelf. When lit, the wax releases a vanilla fragrance with notes of Christmas punch: cinnamon, clove, orange and a hint of red wine. We pour it into the mould, let it cool and finish the surface and wick by hand – which is why individual pieces differ slightly. That is not a flaw; it shows the candle was not made by a machine.

What makes the ASTRONAUT candle different

• Handmade in Královské Poříčí – we pour and finish it on our farm in the Karlovy Vary Region.
• Vanilla and Christmas punch fragrance – a sweet vanilla base complemented by spiced punch with cinnamon, clove and orange.
• Burn time 7–10 hours – if you follow the recommendation (max. 2–3 hours at a time), it lasts for several evenings.
• Paraffin wax blend – ensures even burning without the surface caving in.
• Cotton wick – a steady flame, without smoke or crackling.
• Icy magenta surface with glitter – reflects the light of other candles and Christmas decorations.
• Compact 7.5 × 4.5 cm format – fits the Christmas Eve table, a windowsill, a shelf or an Advent wreath.

Where to place the candle

Place the ASTRONAUT candle on a level, non-flammable surface at a safe distance from curtains, tablecloths and flammable decorations. With its 4.5 cm diameter, it fits most candle holders and saucers. It suits a festive table as part of Christmas decorations, the living room for calm evening light and the bedroom before sleep. In an Advent wreath, combine it with other candles of the same size so that they all burn evenly.

Who the candle is for

ASTRONAUT is a gift for anyone who likes bold colours and Christmas scents – a mother, grandmother, friend or colleague. It works just as well as your own Advent decoration or as a companion to an evening book and a cup of tea. It is a hand-poured piece from a small Czech workshop, not a mass-pressed candle without a story.

About production at SVITSOL

SVITSOL is a family workshop on the farm in Královské Poříčí. ASTRONAUT is made from a paraffin wax blend that holds colour and glitter well and carries the fragrance evenly. We pour every candle into the mould, let it cool, finish the surface by hand and check the wick. No production line – just people and a mould.

Tips for use

• Trim the wick to about 5 mm before the first lighting.
• Never leave the candle burning unattended or within reach of children or animals.
• After each use, let the wax set before moving the candle.
• Protect it from draughts – the flame then burns evenly and the wax does not wrinkle.
