Dream Scented Candles
A present for somebody who likes fruit over flowers, or a candle for your own evening — either way the scent is settled before you start. Dream is raspberries and peaches, and all of these carry it. On several of them Dream is not the only scent in there — Wild strawberry, Vanilla-apple, Orange or Choco-coffee comes with it, and the full name of the candle is where you find out which.
The harder half is the object itself. Pillars, pyramids, tall relief cones, a LOVE relief and broad hearts are all in here, and the shape settles more than the scent does. A pillar you light on an ordinary evening and light again the week after. A heart lies wide and flat, so it asks for a cleared surface, dishes and frames pushed aside — worth knowing before you fall for one.
Královské Poříčí is where we make them, by hand, all out of the same paraffin wax blend. What changes from one to the next is the rated burn, and the figures are nowhere near each other, so read the hours on the one you have your eye on before a shape talks you into it. If nothing here is quite the shape you pictured, there is a candle configurator on the site.
Putting the measurements next to the rated hours
Begin with the surface you have free, not with the scent. Orange Pillar Candle with Arc Decoration and Yellow Pillar Candle with Circle Decor are the small pair: 7 cm high, 3.5 cm across, 0.07 Kg, rated 9-12 hours. Pyramid Candle Pentagon 2 is 11 cm at 0.15 Kg and rated 17-30 hours.
Two of them come in at 12 cm and they are not interchangeable. Pillar Candle Dream 3.5×12 cm measures 3.5 cm across, weighs 0.13 Kg and is rated 18-24 hours. Medium Pillar Candle Svitsol, at the same 12 cm, weighs 0.2 Kg and is rated 27-36 hours. Equal on the ruler, apart on the hours.
Higher up, the floor space counts as much as the height. Pyramid Candle Rocket 5 stands 19 cm and wants 9 cm of surface beneath it, 0.26 Kg, rated 19-29 hours. The large HEART candles, red-white and red, cover 19.5x14.5 cm and weigh 0.9 Kg; their rating runs 12-45 hours, so plan around the lower figure.
The two tall ones are a separate decision. Relief Cone Candle Phoenix SHE Choco-Coffee & Dream comes to 38 cm on 6 cm of width, 1.9 Kg — heavier than anything else here — and is rated 45-60 hours. Relief Candle LOVE Yellow-Orange goes up to 40 cm, also 6 cm across, 1 Kg, rated 45-96 hours. Neither of them suits a busy shelf. At that height they are better off on the floor or on a surface nobody else is using.
Trim the wick down before it meets a match. On the very first burn, keep it going until the melt has reached the outer edge, or it will hold to a narrow well after that. The rest is habit: flat ground that cannot catch, still air, no walking away from a lit flame, and children and pets kept at a distance.
