Large Tall Cone Candle Yellow-Salmon

Large Tall Cone Candle Yellow-Salmon – handmade candle by SVITSOL

The cone is 38 cm tall, has a base diameter of 10 cm and weighs 1.15 kg. It is cast from a premium paraffin wax blend, the wick is cotton and the fragrances are citronella and orange. The burn time is 90–200 hours, depending on how long you let the candle burn at a time and how draughty the room is. We make it by hand in Královské Poříčí in the Karlovy Vary Region.

The yellow-salmon shade shifts from warm yellow to salmon. In daylight it looks more like a sand tone; when lit, it warms up to orange. The colour runs through the whole body of the candle, not just the surface – as the cone burns down, the shade stays the same.

Where it fits

At this size, the cone is a standalone piece. It needs no accessories and on its own fills a corner of the room or a mantelpiece.

• Living room – on a chest of drawers, a mantelpiece or on the floor next to an armchair.
• Festive table – celebrations, wedding decorations, Christmas. Place it a little away from the food so that the fragrance does not compete with it.
• Bathroom – citronella with orange suits a bath better than heavy oriental fragrances.
• Reception, apartments, wellness – it lasts a long time, so it does not need replacing often.

Arrangement tip: place a lower pillar or prism candle in the same shade next to the tall cone. Three different heights look better than two pieces side by side.

Material and craftsmanship

The paraffin wax blend we use keeps its shape even in a warm room and leaves no white film on the surface. It contains no palm oil. The wick is cotton.

We pour every piece by hand, so the candles differ slightly – in shade and surface texture. That is not a flaw; that is how handmade work is. If you want two completely identical pieces, it is best to order them together from one batch.

How to handle it

• Trim the wick to 5–6 mm before each lighting. A long wick smokes and pulls the flame to the sides.
• Burn for no more than 1–2 hours at a time. With large cones this is not about saving wax but about the shape – longer burning creates a crater and the wall breaks through.
• Place it on a stable, non-flammable surface – a plate or a stone slab, never directly on a tablecloth.
• Keep it away from draughts. A draught pulls the flame towards the wall, which then runs.
• Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep it out of reach of children and pets.

Fragrance

Citronella with orange is a fresh combination, not a sweet one. Citronella is a citrus grass – dry and slightly herbal. The orange rounds it off. Even when the candle is out, it does not smell overpowering; it develops only with warmth. For the bedroom, we recommend it for a short while before sleep rather than for the whole evening.

What we stand for

SVITSOL is a family business. We have been making candles by hand since 2004, which is more than twenty years, and in that time we have tried enough to know what works and what does not. We do not invent new recipes every season – we stick to what has proven itself. If you have a problem with the cone, get in touch – we deal with it ourselves, not a customer care department.
